If you want to travel here and eat that way the best thing to do is rent an apartment for a week or two and cook your own meals and then do side trips from there. Colombia is just to beautiful to miss! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-55569751452341178402015-12-16T20:59:02.636-05:002015-12-16T20:59:02.636-05:00Thanks for all the information on the restaurant f...Thanks for all the information on the restaurant food there. We are very light meat eaters and like a lot of vegetables or purely vegetarian meals, so I don't think we would like Colombia very much.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572905521059358017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-63374280875445337942015-12-06T08:19:18.586-05:002015-12-06T08:19:18.586-05:00Kevin had tried Benadryl near the beginning of the...Kevin had tried Benadryl near the beginning of the rash and it did absolutely nothing to help with the itching or the sleeping. The Prednisone has helped considerably with the itching but he can only take it in the morning because one of the side effects is that it keeps you awake. He has one more day on it and can't wait to stop it, it is the one drug that he hates the worst but has helped him the most.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-30594935091094598862015-12-06T08:14:22.688-05:002015-12-06T08:14:22.688-05:00Thanks Sherry,everyday Kevin is seeing some improv...Thanks Sherry,everyday Kevin is seeing some improvement.<br /><br />Hope you don't get any flooding from all that rain.

We love having veggies with our meal but here it is mostly meat and starch. Looking forward to getting back to our own cooking and to having some wonderful Mexican food.<br /><br />Kevin's rash is improving each and everyday now but he still isn't sleeping the best and that might be the result of the Prednisone that he is taking.<br /><br />Thanks for the confirmation on the flower.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-33172310597349143202015-12-06T08:06:24.316-05:002015-12-06T08:06:24.316-05:00So true Chris!

In the big cities you don't'take a camera with you to the markets but it should be better in the little town that we are going to today.<br /><br />Even though Bogota has bee the one place we have stayed the longest it is the place we liked the least. At the beginning we stayed because we wanted to see how Kevin's rash reacted to the new medication. After that because we have been having a hard time trying to find available and affordable accommodation in the towns outside of Bogota.<br /><br />To us Bogota is an ugly, dirty, noisy and busy city! There have been a few things that have interested us here but that has been it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-30108417662502401662015-12-06T07:51:46.213-05:002015-12-06T07:51:46.213-05:00Yes, we are so looking forward to that!Yes, we are so looking forward to that!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-79848079377228713722015-12-06T07:50:59.486-05:002015-12-06T07:50:59.486-05:00It looks bigger than it actually was, it wasn'...It looks bigger than it actually was, it wasn't thick.
