MY VACATION IN BOGOTA

By: Juan Carlos Vásquez G.

Last year I was in Bogota from June 17 since June 24. I stayed in Pepito Royal Hotel. Bogota is a very special place form me because I lived there for two years.

In that city I visited many places. I was in Gold Museum. In there are many pieces make it by Indian groups. Then I visited to Andino mall. In that mall I was walking and drinking a coup a coffee while I was looking a display store when I stumbled and I fell down on floor. I burned myself with the coffee because I spilt it all over myself and almost broke my knee…but I could stand up and walk to came back to the hotel. The next day I got a black knee and heavy pain but that was no problem for me I keep walking.

When I travel to Bogota usually call my friends. I always spend very good times with them. In that vacation we went to a Mexican restaurant. We ate delicious spice food and drank a lot tequila. I was drunk when I was came back to the hotel. That night I threw up everything that I ate.

The next day I woke up with a headache, but I could visit the farm of my relatives. There we did a roast. I love visited the farm of my relatives because I could walk around, breathe fresh air and reading a good book next to the fireplace.

When I was in Bogota I went to the bookstore. I visited the bookshop of two universities: Externado and Rosario. I looked for books specializing in economic law that I couldn’t find in Medellin. This is a topic that I really like it.

On Saturday I went to the bargains market located in Usaquen. It was fantastic to be there because I could walk dawn on the street I saw beautiful handicrafts while I was drinking a delicious and strong Colombian coffee. In there I could eat a traditional food and local disserts. When I was there, I bought a panting of Vincent van Gogh called “Starry Night”. Let me tell you that the price was low for a wonderful work.

This vacations was very funny because I could rest, I visit to my friends and my relatives and bought things that I wanted.
