La Ingelsia en Funza

The day after visiting la Catedral de Sal, Aura and I went to see her sister after a dentist’s appointment, ended up visiting her grandma and had a great night hanging out with her uncles and some other folk from the neighbourhood. There was, of course, plenty of beer and dancing and I received a few rounds of applause for successfully navigating the dance floor without breaking any bones. You know, it’s really not fair how naturally everyone here dances, whether it’s salsa, meringue or local flavours of folk music.

We crashed at Aura’s grandma’s place with her sister and niece and then went with them to their home in Funza, a little town that became a suburb of Bogotá as it grew to take consume the surrounding towns, for a couple of relaxing days watching far too many DVDs and eating great food.

Yeah, life in Bogotá is pretty tough but I think I could get used to it.
