Bogota', Colombia April 2001
|
|
 |
|
 |
| One of the housing districts that we visited. Completely modern
homes. These were 3 or 4 bedroom homes. |
Inside one of those homes looking from the living room/ dining room
area up to the balcony family room. There is also a den. |
The homes accross the street from where we stayed Again, very
modern. Most of the homes in Bogota have bars on the windows and
around the yards. |
 |
 |
 |
| Some of the traffic that is typical througout the city. You can see
the construction on the left side of the road, and some of the street vendors
on the right. |
Homecenter- just like a Home Depot in the states. |
Imagine a Wal Mart Superstore, throw in a larger grocery store, then
make it bigger still. Then add in a food court and some other stores
in the entry area and you have Exito and CarrFour. |

 |
| Inside Exito. Looks just like a Wal Mart, except the prices are
in Pesos. Oh, that and there were only 85 checkout lanes here.
CarrFour was a bit smaller- they only had 67! |
A view of the produce area- well maybe 1/2 of it. There is a
ton of different fruits and vegetables in Colombia. I like the mora
berries- similar to a strong raspberry and it makes a wonderful juice or
hot tea. |
The playground at Exito. All of the larger stores have something
like this, along with the malls, parks, and many other places. It
seemed like every time we turned around there was another playground. |
