left Mexico for Chistmas

Parked the rig in Villa Corona and flew to Bogota. Very surprised, I expected a Mexican style city, but it is very clean, modern and affluent looking. Friends we helped immigrate to Canada 20 years ago invited us to spend Christmas with their families

    Christmas here seems the same as the US & Canada, some huge malls all decorated up. Only obvious poverty I have seen so far is Venezuelan refugees. It is sad what is happening in that country. No garbage lying around. No metro, which is odd for a city of 9 million, but they have dedicated bus lanes everywhere with stations. Had no issues using transit. Surprised to see Oxxo stores everywhere, I though they were Mexico only. Fuel is about $2.75 US per gallon. Love the food here. Weather similar to Guadalajara. Its at 9,000 ft.
