Monserrate

November 12, 2008

We actually went to Monserrate a few weeks ago but somehow missed posting the photos. This place was BEAUTIFUL! It's like many countries where they put a church/monastery waaaaaay up high on a mountain but still, each has it's own beauty. Plus I got some nice photo's of Bogota. Before we get to the mountain we HAD to ride llamas in the parking lot.

Then the cable car up! Max LOVED it - Mommy, not so much. I'm a bit afraid of heights.

Photo of the church from the cable car on the way up. Looking up is ALWAYS better than down :o) OOOPS! Sideways - sorry :)

And the monastary.

Views of Bogota...

Cheesey stuff for sale. We were hoping to find a treasure in the market, or at least something unique.

But all we found was this stinkin' t'shirt! (ok, for those who can't read Spanish it's the same ol' same ol' t-shirt in English. "Someone who loves me brought me this shirt from Colombia blah, blah, blah)

But the kids found some slinkeys so they were happy.

Trying to make it "walk".

Random photo of me and the munchkins with the pretty church in the background.

Daddy's girl ;o)

The stations of the cross. All pretty but we don't need to see them all now do we?

I LOVE this humming bird photo!

And these flowers...

Oh, and a wild horse!

GREAT restaurant with a view of the city.
