Today, like almost every day we had eggs for breakfast, and eggs for dinner to. If we don't see another egg for the rest of the year it will be ok. The kitchen staff are very nice, but we don't know how to tell them we don't want any more eggs. So, another trip to the Pomona grocery store. We bought some oatmeal, fruit, and granola. After breakfast, Andres picked us up for another adventure. Monserrate peak looks over the city of Bogota. We took a cable car up the mountain, then had to walk an additional ways over a uneven rock pathway. At the top is a white church, inside is a alter statue of the "fallen christ". I have never seen a statue of Jesus laying on his cross before. There was a full service going on while we were there. While we were overlooking the city, we heard someone speaking in english. I turned around and there were a couple of guys, and one had a Montana Grizz sweatshirt on. I thought to myself, what is the chance that two Montanan's would be on top of a mountain thousands of miles away in S. America. I should go buy a lottery ticket... This guy was from Butte, Montana and in Bogota as a contractor doing some building work. We laughed and took a couple of pics. After the surprise encounter, we walked down a path, which had various statues again depicting Jesus's last walk and crucifiction. The weather was overcast, but you could still see much of the valley. Ruben had on long sleeved clothes and a rain jacket, just incase the weather changed abruptly. This happens fairly frequently here. After a coca cola at the top of the mountain, we walked back to the cable car and road back down. Andres took us to the Plaza de Bolivar, where the president of Colombia lives and several museums surround the plaza. Time for little Ruben's bath, so will report more later.
