Monserrate

I've put off writing this post because I needed to get pictures from one of the guys with us. So here it is.

One day we too a walk to a place called Monserrate. This is a church on the top of a mountain overlooking Bogota. There are four ways up. First there is the Gondola, Second there is the Funicular, third there are the stairs. Finally, for the really devout, you can go up the stairs on your knees. The elevation gain is about 2000 feet.
The top is at about 10500 feet and you can actually feel yourself get out of breath pretty quickly. We took the gondola up and the funicular down.
Looking down was a little scary, Man was it steep!
Behind us in this picture is a massive statute of Jesus overlooking the city on another mountain. Sort of like Christ the Redeemer in Rio I guess. Pretty cool anyways.

Here are a few more photos from the top:


Mmmmm, lunch at the top. This is the kind of stuff we eat here. Lots of fried Banana.
This is the funicular to the bottom.We passed this on the way home and I love the picture! I once again dedicate this to my vegetarian sister.
