Day 3
I woke up to another beautiful day in Bogota, Colombia. I ate a breakfast at Mcdonalds but they had some cultural meals like Arroz con Pollo. I decided to try that and for Mcdonalds it was actually pretty good. After i ate breakfast I decided to go to the park. At the park there was a man selling dried corn to feed to the pidgeons in the square. It was only ten cents for a big pack of the corn so I decided to try it out. I put some of the corn in my hand and right away dozens of them flew into my nd gobbled the corn up. I spent awhile here before I finally ran out of corn. I kept walking around the square until i saw a man painting peoples faces for a job. I thought it would be fun to have one to hang in my room so I sat down and waited my turn. When he was finished, I was very pleased with the results so I asked him to put it in a tube for me. I took it home to the hotel and packed it safely in my bag before I went back out to find a place for lunch. I couldn't find any restaurants that were to my liking, so i just bought a double cheeseburger from Mcy Dee's. I walked around the poorer side of Bogota, but it was a little scary so i turned back. I also went to the hospital that I decided to give money to and got a tour. Many people didn't even have beds or help so I knew I had made the right choice. I gave the head of hospital my donation and he was estatic. He thought that i was the nicest person in the world and he wanted to take me out for dinner. I said no politely and was a little embarresed. I then ate dinner at the hotel which was superb before sitting down to read a book. After i finished i went to sleep at about ten thirty.
