I didn't get a chance to write much about my time in Bogota but it was good thanks to Andres and his friend Diego who showed me around the Zona Rosada, basically the upscale part of he city for the day. They gave ne the typical tourist treatment, which was much appreciated, tryingocal foods such as empenadas, a deep fried dough pocket filled with chicken cheese and some other fillings, as well as a few o the local beers. The beer is good but nothing real tasty of a craft brewery, a lot like the light lagers from Germany or a ywhere in Europe really which as many know are a lot like the US light colored beers with a bit less carbonation. As with any big city, Bogota gets a bit rough at night so I didn't have much of an incling to go out or hit he bars, but did get to have beers with a guy from Boston who was real interesting. Spoke fluent Hungarian and knew the country's history like he back of his hand. The little things that would typically take 5 minutes for me turn into 4 hour processes when traveling which 'Im used to, but still get frustrated with, so given that I got my cell phone activated, assembled my bike, found a good map and ate, I felt pretty succesful.
