Slowly, but surely (and with lots of beautiful new friends guiding my way) I'm beginning to find my footing in Bogotá.
*Embarrassing situation #1: I have been traveling around the city primarily by taxi because they are safe and so cheap- and until yesterday, I didn't realize it is incredibly rude to slam your door shut in Colombia. Now, I'll be gently shutting all doors- thankfully no one yelled at me yet (although I might not have understood what I was being called anyway!)
*Invigorating instances: met the director of the new Batuta choral program and many other kind Colombians and Americans
listened to Colombian-Jazz fusion group
hiked up and down Monserrate with my new friend Yuri
tried my first Colombian banana (so sweet!)
learned how to call for a taxi in Bogotá
enjoyed an evening of homemade burritos and games with my wonderful hosts Maureen & Manuel and their friends
found my way to and from the atm and grocery store on the 'parkway' with no hesitation
tasted my first South American avacado
