Cerro Monserate is a mountain that towers over La Candelaria in Bogotá. They have both a cable car and a train that runs to the top, although the train only runs on weekends. At the top is a church and restaurant and great views of Bogotá. Spent a good deal of time hanging out looking at the city.
I also
toured the Police Museum in Bogotá. It was actually pretty boring for the most part, and we were not allowed to take pictures during the cool parts (the room full of guns and the Pablo Escobar room). The Pablo Escobar room featured some things owned by Pablo when he was killed such as some guns and a jacket. They also had a tile from the roof where Pablo was killed that has a blood stain on it. Reminded me a bit of the pillow in Washington DC with a blood stain from Lincoln.
Other than that, I have been enjoying just walking around Bogotá. Great city with lots of character. They have done a great job moving forward and embracing the new without abandoning the old.
