"Una mirada a Usaquen"

Here is the first picture of when Juli and I got dropped off at Usaquen, a part of Bogota that used to be its own colonial town. But because Bogota kept expanding, it eventually took in Usaquen. Here I am in front of the Hacienda, a really cool mall with outside bars with live music.

The Hacienda has a lot of fountains because its very old architecture.  The fountain reminded us of our friend Bernadine because she has a cool facebook profile picture by a fountain. However, her was actually working.

A really cool shop with artwork from local artists. Usaquen is full of hand-made crafts and pieces of art. It really adds an authentic vibe to the city.

Eating some almojava, its like a biscuit but has a cheesy taste and was really good.

A lot of cool alleways in this area.

The food court in the Hacienda. The mall was seriously huge and they have a lot of ritzy stores there. In the center of the circular complex in this part they have different things throughout the year. Ice-skating, concerts, and in this case, mini-golf.

Banks and some industrial businesses. Bogota doesn't have a whole lot of giant skyscrapers though, as I expected. However, I like that about it, because instead it has a lot more restaurants and little shops that truly give zest to the community

We had warm wine at a really good restaurant called Crepes and Waffles
