Favorite Moments - Bogota, Colombia

 
Life has been a whirlwind of activities and somehow the summer and most of autumn slipped away without any blog posts. Travel and adventures have been plentiful during this time, so there is much to share!
Though I am woefully late on writing about Colombia, I have been itching to give you a taste of what the country is all about.
Oh Colombia, how you won me over with your kind and generous spirit. Each day brought a new-found appreciation for this region of the world and the friendly genuine people we encountered.  With so many memorable moments, I will attempt to do the trip justice. Here are my favorite moments from the first destination, Bogota.

Perched 8,600 feet above sea level on a plateau in the Andes Mountains, the sprawling capital city of Colombia is home to approximately 7 million people. With many neighborhoods to choose from, we decided to make our home in the historic neighborhood of La Candelaria.
