We left Panama City today at noon. An hour flight landed us in Bogota Columbia. Bogota is different from Panama. During our drive to the hotel we noticed most buildings were not over 2 to 3 stories tall, and there is not much construction. This is in stark contrast from Panama city where 20-30 story buildings are common, and construction is everywhere.
After checking in to our hotel we headed to a downtown area for dinner and drinks. Columbia offers a much more commercialized "downtown" area, with a mall and many bars in an open area for tourists. We went to the Bogota Beer Company for dinner, and the Beer lounge for afer dinner drinks. It was a good time. Armed police with dogs were stationed at every block. Which made us feel both at ease, and a little uneasy. Either way, it was a memorable time.
We got back to the hotel before dark, hooked the plasma in our room to our PC to watch movies. Purchased booze from the local store (which was a trip), and retired for the night. More to come over our 2 day stay.
