It's a phenomenal town! I have enjoyed myself even though the first couple of days I had some pretty bad altitude sickness. I had no idea Bogota was as high up as it is — apparently the third highest nation capital of the world.

Thank you so much for the suggestions!

I was pretty altitude sick coming from 12 meters above sea-level Philadelphia to 2600 meters Bogota yesterday when I arrived. I was pretty nauseous, so I googled and ordered Ajiaco because it sounded comforting — it was delicious!

I had tamarind juice with lemon juice and basil with this meal, and it was out of this world. I have decided I am going to drink juice with every meal since it's so much more fresh than I can get in the states, and it's so inexpensive.

I didn't know the Birds would be in the Superbowl when I bought non-refundable tickets for a vacation in Colombia. I found an ex-pat neighborhood that is serving cheesesteak ingredients on big piece of toast (almost like French toast).

It's okay — it definitely doesn't hit the same, but it's in the spirit of the day. Headed to a sports bar soon to pre-game!
