Last day from Bogota

Today is a rainy and foggy day like any other in Bogota´, Colombia. It´s true that the weather is a bit morbid here, but as usual fellow travelers that I´ve met make up for any bad climate. After being in Bogota´ for a week I have learned the town very well. The public transportation system is top notch and there are many different areas in this huge city, each offers their own little flair.
This morning I ate at my favorite french pastry shop for breakfast. It is an amazing place right out of France and in the heart of Bogota´. A couple fried eggs and the most deliscious almond craussant along with hot chocolate is my usual order. The staff has even gotten to know me and gave me a nice bag of cookies as a departing gift. The owner was an old French man that refuses to speak anything but French, and everyone that works for him has to learn some French as well. What can you say? He´s just so....French!
Oh! Yesterday I made my way to a very old bowling alley in the middle of the downtown area. Would you believe that they still have someone there setting the pins by hand! Truely the most dangerous job in bogota´! I talked other travelers into going and the 6 of us, each from different countries, went and had a blast. Also, spent some quality time with my friends last night. As we laughed and joked over sushi and sake I knew that it was a moment to cherish. I will remember my time here in Bogota and in Colombia with a feeling of contentment. I am also happy to point out that it is a very safe country, no different than any other where you have to use your own common sence and you will be fine traveling here. Sad that my travels are at an end for a little while, but south america has been one good experience after another. Thanks for following and I´ll post more pics to finish off the site this weekend from the states. Passa bien!!
