Day 1 in Bogota. The hostel has its charm and its lack thereof. There are no lockers, only small lockboxes for valuables in the office, and the shower this morning was ICE COLD. I didn't even notice at the time that I was using lotion instead of conditioner in my hair, but to be fair the two bottles are identical except for what is inside and what is printed in small type. I'm currently thawing out with some free hot coffee, though, and the staff is incredibly nice. I'm considering looking for a different hostel, but I am also considering toughing it out. Going outside of your comfort zone is supposed to build character, right? If that is the case, I'm going to have more character than I can handle by the end of this week!
The plan for today: contact and meet the mother of one of my father's coworkers, who lives here in Bogota. Then, check out some museums and sights around the city. I'll give the hostel at least one more night, but I will keep an eye out for other options. I might just find some more comfortable digs for the conference days. Hmm... I should make that presentation at some point...
