19.01.11. in the bar , Bogota
Taxi takes me to the center where the president lives and all the governmental institutions are> the the historical center of Bogota called La Candelaria. with pretty houses made of wood and clay. Sort you'd imagine in a Zorro film. They put paint over it but it all crumbles off. I didn-t take picturees of the institutions> they-re a boit borring in a very classic monumental neo classic style. The candelaria however is full of pretty and narrow streets. The area is just above the senate, and is located up on the hill. So we get the view on the city on one side, and you can ssee the mountains on the other. I got a view of it all from the balcony of the hostel. It-s a pleasure to look at while lying in a hammac. 
The area feal extra safe> since the president lives just up the road, there are ;iitaries at every street corner. It ruins the athmosphere, but I suppose they-re necessary. The hostel is located at the ideal place for all that I have to do> its just in between the active center with all the shops, and th univerrsity which is just a bit further up the hill. All the museums oare in this area as well, it will give me stuff oto do if I get borred, but I doubt I will. HEre are a few other pics of the Candelaria. 
11.02.11 Bogota, Candellaria.
I've recebntly been thinking about moving out of the Candellaria. It made me look arund a bit more than usual, and realise how much this area looks like a picturesque village where people all know each other. The rest of Bogota is just high buildings and crazy vehicles. So here are a few later pictures of the area.
The cathedral of Bogota. This is where the candelaria starts. From here and up the hill.
