Quick Bogotá Update

I'm still here in Bogotá, though I'm planning to leave on Monday, heading north to see more of the country, visiting little towns and some other big cities. I have to be back in Bogotá in a month for the final checkup for my new eyes, and am not sure how I'll spend the month. I may fit the rest of Colombia in and head down to Quito in Ecuador, then fly back for the appointment, spend the entire month looking around Colombia or spend a week or two in a villa somewhere working on a few different ideas I've been toying with.

Everything is going great with my eyes and after checking out the exchange rate again, found that it only cost AUD$650, USD$500 for the operation which is an added bonus.

I'm staying with Señora Dafne at the moment, the grandma of a friend from Maracaibo, Venezuela and having a great time. She's really cool, and I feel really at home staying with her. I had dinner with her sons and some of the grandkids the other night which was really nice. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet some of the older grandkids this weekend, who all sound cool.

I'm off to buy some toys today, a CD player to replace my beloved iPod and a little camera that I can more easily take around towns and out at night. My main camera is awesome, but a bit too obvious for some places.

Pues, hasta luego!
