I probably supposed that Colombia the most interesting place in the Americas apart from Cuba, which I have already visited.
Bogota cathedral shortly after I arrived.
Acute sleep deprivation but I love my groovy hotel, the Selina Candelaria. I decided to avoid expensive hotels which are boring and stay in hotels that are also hostels, where you make friends without trying, as I did.
In Colombia everyone lights a candle on the Eve of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Mine is the one on the far left of the box.
In any case I am so glad I chose Colombia. I love her.
How can a country so close to the USA be so un-American, so traditional, so conservative? Whichever Mexican politician said 'Poor Mexico, so far from heaven so close to the United States' could have been speaking about Colombia too.

Colombia has many acute problems but it seems to have escaped many of the horrors of modernity which the United States has adopted or invented.
