Beautiful Bogota
Colombia really is beautiful. Lush, everything’s bright green with a nice wet sheen from a rain earlier today. And hot, much warmer and more humid than Brazil or Chile were.
I’m at my hotel, on the run with a lot going on, but I wanted to post something so Mom and everyone else will know I arrived here safely. Here’s my hotel room and the view. We seem to be in the hi-tech hi-rise part of town, and the Microsoft office is a block away.

Can you walk that block, or do you need to ride? I know you had been told you might have to stick to the great indoors while you are there. Does that apply to the tech district?

Well, the hotel security guys whisked us into the hotel when we arrived, and there’s bars on the windows and razor wire everywhere, no outdoor pool, and the Microsoft office is a block away but they won’t let us walk unescorted. But I feel safe, in part because there are armed security guards all over the place.

Doug,
I am glad you are safely there and I hope you won’t be tempted to take off on your own for a photo shoot somewhere.
Love, Mom

Mom, I stayed in the hotel all evening. But it’s sure hard to not go take more pictures in a place that looks like this.
I didn’t know Bogota was at such a high altitude. We’re way higher than Denver here — over 7000 feet, I think.
