Today's post was supposed to welcome Elliot. Jonah stole the spotlight. Hi Elliot!

Watching the street stalls set up at sunrise (Colombian coffee in hand from the balcony)

Jonah was pleased to hear of the "tight brain" theory whereby the "big brained" are susceptible

And a frog! Guess the connection in comments

Spanish buildings were replaced upon independence. 1 remained as funds dried and now it's heritage!

Fernando Botero liked to muck around with shapes and sizes. I'm not sure that Mona appreciated it.

My Kingdom for a Sats Probe

2024年12月8日, コロンビア ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

Monserrate and museums dominated today as we took a walking tour around the old city of Bogota.

We began with a funicular ride up Mont Serrat that took us from 2650 to 3150m above sea level. As soon as we got off Jonah reported some pretty disturbing neurological signs consistent with a potential complication of acute mountain sickness. His lips were blue as well. The obvious answer was to descend but it was very reassuring to instantly encounter a team of 5 experienced paramedics who pulled out a sats probe and helped to settle him until we could go back down. The descent and hydration mostly fixed things but I was also able to buy some acetazolamide without a script which was handy. What a start to the trip! Fortunately it didn't get any more serious. We tailored the length and pace of the rest of the day which ended up being lovely.もっと詳しく
