Guatavita the Town

After seeing Laguna de Guatavita, we went to the town of Guatavita and had lunch.  Guatavita has a bull fighting ring and a long history of bullfighting.  
It was kind of weird because we were our own little group, the rest of the students and the teacher ate at one table and then my kids and I ate at another.  I felt like we were banished, but also it was kind of good. They're tired because we were up early to make it to the school by 7:30 AM.  
The food was okay, and the waiter and the teacher were surprised at how much we ordered and then the kids ate it ALL gone.  Which surprised them even more.
Taking photos with kids is sometimes so difficult!
Then we just ran around the touristy part of town for an hour or so.  Not long enough, my kids were not ready to go yet.

They were disappointed though because there's an upside down house right near there, (mostly an instagram photo op) and they really wanted to stop, and the group had planned on it, but after all the other students decided they didn't want to go and my kids were sad.
I mean, who would want to leave when you could be playing behind pillars?

I loved the frog!!
The town looks very scenic and very colonial, but really there's a reservoir nearby that flooded the original town and this one was built in the 1960s.

Seriously, much running and horsing around.  But Elena is gorgeous as always.
These random circle things DO look rather 1960ish.

The kids did not want to leave here either.  
It was a maze of circles to crawl through to get to different courtyards and roads. 

Good times!

I was going to get them a dessert too but then we had to leave so fast.  Sigh.
I like the minaret thingy.
And then riding the transmilenial home from the school.   



I love my kids!!!  
Isabel looking gorgeous too!!!
