So it turns out that one of the most picturesque and hip neighborhoods in Bogotá -- Usaquén -- is just a twenty minute walk from my apartment. What a great discovery to make yesterday with a few friends! There's an open air market on Sundays and holidays (yesterday was the Feast of the Assumption), plus a zillion cool, different restaurants and small boutiques. The sun actually shone all day yesterday (never happens), so we just walked and walked and walked. It felt so indulgent, but I had gotten up at 6:30 to work on school stuff and had already logged a few hours by lunchtime.

Now it's back to work. It's nice to have a four day week, though. Of course, inevitably thjat means cramming five days of work into four! On the bright side, one of the things I have to do this week for school is watch the movie "Fast Food Nation," which should be great!
