the journey home... from school

Greetings everyone,
after a two month hiatus the blog is back and we will make it an effort to keep updating it every week. Here is what is on the agenda 1) Christmas Break, 2) Amby and Charlie's Wedding, 3) A weekend in Villa de Leyva, 4) the CNG Color Run and 5) Karen's week in the Amazon. Plenty of material and more coming. So for now, enjoy our walk home from school.

One of our friends recently posted a bunch of pictures that depicted his walk home from school. As i walked home the other day, I decided to replicate his idea and capture my walk home. I admit I was  somewhat surprised to find/notice things I have missed as I have hurried back to our apartment.

J and I take the bus TO school each day and from the pictures, you may be able to tell why. The school is on the side of a mountain and it's an all uphill walk to school. Coming home is a breeze- and only takes about 10 minutes. As you will see, the walk is beautiful and there are many things to enjoy.

across the street from the school - maybe the only flat part of our walk

Grafiti is an art in Bogota

Flowers are everywhere

Apartment buildings almost all the way down

Many unique and beautiful doorways

Art pieces are all along the way

There are lots of stairs

More art

more stairs

Oddly colored leaves - since there is no fall or spring

Did I mention there are lots of stairs

Finally at the bottom of all of the stairs

A fairly typical street (4th street)
