Bogotá, Part III Chapinero

This kid rode up to the area outside of 3-4 bars and started the grill welded to the back of his bicycle. Tavo NEEDED to try one of his arepas.

Verdict? Delicious! Here's an action shot--2 am

We found a hotel that was strangely reminiscent of a David Lynch film...maybe the Twin Peaks movie?

David Lynch hotel at night--yes, the lights in the hallway really are green.

At $15 a night, we weren't complaining..

Caught the Colombia Uruguay game--a defeat for Colombia, unfortunately. Regardless, it was an exciting game--we got the last table in the bar.

Our second night in Chapinero, we upgraded our hotel. A few more blocks and a few more bucks--we now have a working jacuzzi. Oh yeah :)

According to Tavo's cousins, El Corral is the best burger chain in Bogotá. Well, we have to agree!

I'm not quite sure what type of burger he got--but it was definitely large and delicious.

I went for the vegetarian version--you can add all sorts of sides. This has eggs, beans, guac, jalapeños--a bit saucy for me, but I ate every bit of it.

Also stopped at Bogotá Beer Company to try their Red Ale and Pilsner--both were quite excellent.

Tavo was excited about the ale--it was a change from the Colombian beers we'd tried thus far. Favorite Colombian beer brands? We liked Poker, Aguila, and Club Colombia.

A neat feature of this part of the city--Comedians would set up an amplifier and tell jokes right out in the square. This guy set up in front of a church. Very cool!

Our last night there, Tavo's cousin and her man, Monica and Arturo, took us on a great walk of the city and we had a few beers in Zona Rosa.
