Thanks for sharing this nice assortment of photos. You show the wonderful contrasts of people from the country with their llamas and city people near the snacks at a modern fast food display, old buildings and skyscrapers, aging facades and well painted beautiful old structures. I especially like the museum art in contrast with the detailed,colorful street artist murals. I'm glad you lingered in Bogota and took time to experience all of the cultural contrasts possible. Well done Bessie and Kyle! Warmest regards...
great photos.
