Aqui en Bogota

After a raucous night at the airport Best Western in Ft. Lauderdale, we arrived in Bogota yesterday morning with one thing on the mind: food. Colombia is said to do two things well: carne y fruta. Entonces, our first stop, meat. 



I didn't even have time to take a photo before this meat and empanadas platter was destroyed. Verdict: Carne es bueno. Necisitamos mas. 


We spent the rest of the day getting to know the city by perusing the produce sections of three different grocery stores and promptly purchasing every single item that was unfamiliar. And that's how we ended up with a hotel room full of todos las frutas de Colombia. We sampled a handful of said frutas and have thus far concluded that we love lulo, a tangy sweet kiwi-ish fruit, and we no gusta curuba, a sour, crunchy, squishy item that we decided was too... um, penisy in shape, and will henceforth be known as dickfruit. No mas dickfruit, por favor.
