Day 2

I woke up late and ate a continental breakfast. (Toast with jam and juice). I checked out of the hotel and drove my car to La Plaza de Bolivar. It was busy with locals and tourists and a great way to learn about the city. It had everything from restaurants to local markets. I spent an hour in a cafe owned by a local named Juan Sanchez and he explained to me that walking through bogota back to the hotel would teach me about the city. I took his advice and after buying a double expresso I took off back to the hotel after parking my car in a secured overnight car garage. I saw everything from the buisness district to the suburbs, from rich to poor, parks and museums. Bogota is a very diverse city and I am greatful to Juan for telling me the best way to look at this great city. When I got back to the hotel, I eat a great dinner of steak, rice, and beans and then went to sleep.
