Waiting in the Airport
A post a month huh? Nah, just gotta get back in the groove, Bogotá can very demanding. I am stuck in the damn airport this morning, tip, if you want a taxi in the morning in Bogotá, call early, 6:45 is impossible. So, i have spent the entire day online today, finally i got the Tigers on the radio, but it was a lot of youtube and iTunes for the morning, plus a long nap laying on my luggage. Anyways, i am headed to Popayan! The white city, known for it's very strong religious presence, and during semana santa, the week of the saints, it is one of the most popular destinations for national tourism, and they have large parades, and religious festivals. I don't know a whole lot more about it, other than that it was destroyed by an Earthquake once and rebuilt. So, i am sitting in the airport, lets draw some comparisons between the most organized airport in Colombia, and any airport in the US. Number one, no toilet seats. Number two, people can come in and walk around and sell you things, while it is not very common because there isn't a large customer base, it does happen. I have been here since 8, it is 3, and this one guy has literally tried to sell me some bag of cheese 10 times, and this only lady, dressed up as a nurse, has come around and tried to get me to pay to have my blood pressure taken 5 times, ?!? But, one thing that remains the same is the food is expensive. Anyways, back to the road. I will let you know how Popayan is in the next couple of days.
