Umm... Yeah, Well...

Sometimes things just don't turn out like you expect. Despite my best intentions to leave Bogotá on Monday, I'm still here. I'm having a really great time hanging out here and to be honest, I'm a little tired of traveling. My plan at the moment is to leave this coming Monday, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm still here in a month. There are a few little towns that I want to check out, but most of those can be day trips and I might be able to go to the La Zona Cafertera for just a few days.

Last week I visited the Caterdral de Sal (Salt Catherdral), which was absolutely amazing. It's a massive multi-room cathedral built in a salt mine in a mountain. I don't know if the photos Aura and I took do it justice, but I'll post them in a couple of days. It was a good chance to take my new toy, a Panasonic FX-01 digital camera, out for a run. The pictures are nice, though not as good as the I2, and feels great taking snaps in town with a little camera. It really does open up a lot more opportunities to take pics.

While I'm here, I'm going to start working on a new version of Elevation, this time in C++ and a framework from PopCap. I had a very strange experience buying some software on the street here, which felt kind of like a drug deal. I picked what I wanted off a little printed list, then had to wait a few minutes while various people walked past my "dealer", not so subtley slipping her CDs. The whole experience was very amusing and I came away very happy with what I could get. The whole travel fatigue thing has found me checking out laptops in the shops here. I'm not going to buy one, and I am keen (kinda) to travel through Ecuador, Boliviar and Peru, but it would also be nice to spend the next five months living here and in Buenos Aires working on games... oh well, I guess I shouldn't be that much of a nerd on my holiday.

¡Luego!
