First Holiday!

Yesterday was the national holiday Battle of Boyaca, a decisive battle for the liberation of Colombia against the Spanish led by Simon Bolivar.  That's right: I've already had a day off!  Every time I walk towards the old city, there are people in a grassy area by the wall (surrounds the old city) flying kites.  Yesterday was especially busy, with several kite vendors on the outskirts of the park selling all sorts of kites: princess, superhero, animals, etc.  There are carts with food and an overall familial atmosphere.  The sea is right across the street, so the conditions for flying are superb.
