Colpatria Tower is nice to view at night_ It changes colors_ It is also the largest building in Bogotá_

Colpatria Tower is nice to view at night. Was one of the things I wanted badly to go and see. It changes colors at night. It is also the largest building in Bogotá. We unfortunately got there after the building closed so we couldnt go up and see Bogota.

Mmm Patacones

We walked all day in Bogota and needed some nourishment. This was a great source of nourishment, patacones. A deep fried or baked flattened plantain. It is good.

Gardens of Cerro de Monserrate

I was Bogotá and asked my friend who lived there to take us somewhere. She took to the top of the a hill in Bogotá known as Cerro de Monserrate. On top of the hill is a monastery as well as gardens and paths to walk. I saw these flowers and felt compelled to capture them.
