This is a series of photos from the beginning of my trip when I arrived in Bogota. The South American portion of my trip started off with me arriving in Bogota, Colombia. A good friend that I hadn't seen in nearly 20 years was going to be picking me up from the airport.
It was great because it felt like we started from where we left off. He took me to the Candeleria and we off exploring. We ended up walking near the Plaza Bolivar checked out the Catedral Primada (The cathedral that is on the cover of the Lonely Planet) and then walking to the Police Museum where we got free a private tour from one of the police that were working there. The highlight of the police museum was Pablo Escovar's Harley Davidson that had gold plated details on the bike.
The following days we ended up going to the Ciclovia, which a weekly bike ride that happens throughout Bogota where the city shuts down main thorough fairs on Sundays for cyclists, Skateboarders, and other miscellaneous type of sports like workout merengue.
After the Cyclovia, Aaron's friend was supposed to have a birthday party at a bowling alley but he did NOT reserve any lanes so no one was able to celebrate his birthday. Aaron's family and I ended up going to the Botanical gardens that were nearby and had a great time with the kids.
