Christmas Adventures: December 22nd

We ate from the streets—arepas with cheese, green mangos with lemon juice, shish kabobs, hot dogs and patacones—but also managed to find a marvelous Italian restaurant. After just the first bite of our food, our palettes were tantalized. I swear eating had never been so joyous as we savored delightful morsel on our plates.

We were harassed by vendors selling their jewllery, paintings, photos, smokes, songs, beer, gum water….oh the list could go on…but you know, it is something that I have grown to love about Colombia. If someone doesn’t sell something that you need or want, you just have to ask and voila! It suddenly appears.

We wondered, got lost time and time again, and avoided the horses and their excrement along the streets from which they pull tourists in carriages.
