    Museum of Gold and more La Candelaria

    September 1, 2015 in Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

    We started with a tour of the museum of gold (Museo del Oro), then followed a walking tour of the La Candelaria district. Near the Government buildings there were lots of police, some in full gear with automatic weapons. Not a sight we are used to, so we quickly moved on to other areas. Lots of old buildings, tons of people. Today we got to see the traffic from the eyes of a pedestrian. Need to move quickly!

    There was this canal running down the middle of park which was located between the traffic lanes. You can see it in the photo.

    Oh, and I bought a hat...
