Christmas in Bogotá

My wife's cousin and husband just enjoyed a day at Expoartesanías in Corferias and had a lovely time. Only today and tomorrow left. There are thousands of stands selling jewelry, art, ornaments, local foods, furniture.

They also joined in the ciclovía nocturna in Bogotá, millions of people cycling, skating and walking around Bogotá looking at the Christmas lights from 7:30 PM until midnight. Wow next time I am going to Bogotá at Christmas. They also have a new convention centre in Zipa, underground of course.

Sorry! guys! I am sorry for the two cut messages above. My 11 month old baby girl decided to "help" me typing, and sent my unfinished answer. She is fascinated with my keyboard, mouse, phone, etc.
I just wanted to say that I agree and think that Christmas in Bogota is bautiful, sincere, fun, filled with tradition, culture and beauty. But some forum memebers did not really agree. Gringo in Bogota was not very impressed. Maybe now that the festivities have really begun he has a different opinion. My plan is to be there next year too.

Mariangela as an "uncle" I can only agree Some of my old PC equipment do very well as toys.

When put together and started up with some "edutainment" game/program there's joy/silence for many hours ;-)

An old mice with wire is great fun as a car with 2-3+ buttons and a tail.
