Bogota and Lima, March 2014

Work sent me to Bogota and Lima this past week. Although it was a doctor's type of trip I did get out and walked around a bit.  Loved the Botero museum in the old part of Bogota, and the catacombs in Lima were creepy and interesting at the same time.  Imagine, where the catacombs are located is the safest part of the church when seismic activity occurs.

Be careful when taking taxis at the airport of Bogota, go always for the yellow ones and not with the drivers that are waiting for you just outside the door, and get some cash before leaving the airport, taxis won't accept credit cards, or give receipts as a matter of fact.  Actually, while in Bogota and Lima I used the Easy Taxi app, it worked very well unless you were requesting taxis during the rush hour, then is everyone for themselves.

Lima has the best ceviche period, and are you going to believe me I never made it to Miraflores?  Then again it's not like I was there to enjoy myself, I was working boys and girls.

I'll leave you now with this pictures I took from the 19th floor of my hotel room, facing the Palacio de  justicia, and I promise to post more pictures afterwards for both Bogota and Lima.

Mexico City - February 2014

I just returned from "Mexico lindo y querido", and no I was not there for pleasure, it was really for work.  Nevertheless I spent my saturday visiting the "Museo Nacional de Antropología", Friday Kahlo's Museum and the Castillo de Chapultepec.

Actually I tried to get into the Castillo, unfortunately I had no money left to pay for the $59.00 pesos entrance fee, and my RBC bank card did not work in 3 different ATM machines I visited (same thing happens in Brazil, maybe I should change banks?), so I hear it is a beautiful building and I have pictures of the entrance to prove it.

Mexico City is an explosion of culture in so many different ways, and if you haven't visit it, make sure to add it to your bucket list.  I also spent 2 days in Monterrey, but let me just post this picture mosaic in exposition at the Anthropology museum  and I will post more later.

and as promised previously, here are some of the other pictures from Monterrey and Mexico City.
