Museo del Oro

I will apologize ahead of time for the lack of writing here, it is mostly just pictures.


          A couple weeks ago, I went to the Gold Museum with my school. The Gold Museum is downtown near La Candelaria, an older part of town. It's near many shops and a small flee market area. In the Gold Museum is, of course, lots of gold. Lots and lots of gold.  And everything has been molded into things by ancient tribes of Colombia.

Guatavita

         Lake Guatavita is a very famous lake in Colombia for myths about gold. When deciding to go to Guatavita i was told that we had to walk for about an hour. However, no one said the walk was up a mountain. It was a nice surprise when we kept walking and the stairs kept coming. And coming. And coming.

Chiva

Let´s talk about chiva. A few weeks ago the school organized a chiva, which is a traditional Colombian party bus. On this bus, you get driven around the city while you dance and, more often than not, drink :) The chivas also take you to a discoteca, which is basically a club where you dance some more and drink just a bit more. Of course, I did not drink very much, UNLIKE many of my friends...
