When we landed in Bogota, Colombia (again), we got a cab to our spacious Air B&B. We settled in and started working on homework. Then, I had to deal with a friendship crisis happening in Boulder. Wish me luck! The next thing that night was amazing. We went to see Passenger performing!! We arrived and watched his okay pre-act, but then Passenger actually came. He was great! Aba had taken Troy to see him in Denver, so I’m really happy that I finally got to see him. It was funny when he changed the words of his songs a couple of times. For example, he changed places to “Bogota” or “Colombia” or “South America”. Obviously, the audience went wild! Also, are you familiar with Passenger’s song I Hate? There is one line that he changed to “and the Botox, that makes them look fucked. Just grow old with grace, have you seen DONALD TRUMP’S face?! It looks like it’s been hit by a truck”! Everybody loved it! He had a really great performance, and I immensely enjoyed it. I’m surprised I didn’t hurt my voice from screaming. That’s a good thing because the next day I sang Passenger all afternoon! My poor family! I kind of felt bad for Passenger, though, because his guitar string broke in the middle of the song and he laughed but looked really embarrassed.
The next couple of days were just jam-packed with homework. Because we weren’t able to do it in Cuba because of the internet and because we’ll only have spotty wifi at best in the coming weeks, we worked really hard to get things done. However, we did get to go out a bit. On our way to the movie theatre one night, we walked through a street. On this street, every single store was a craft store! Every. Single. One. Why??!! The one place that we don’t have time to explore has everything I need for my crafts! Come on world! Not fair! Anyway, we went to the theatre and saw Captain Marvel. I did not have high hopes for the movie and was prepared to be bored, but I was pleasantly surprised! I just have one word to say: flerken. The next day, in addition to doing homework we spent some of the day outside. We walked around the old town and ate some homemade brown sugar marshmallows and fed the pigeons, and went to two museums.
The first was the Gold Museum. It had a lot of old gold relics, but it didn’t really explain the gold-finding process and was consequently very dull.
Next, we went to the Botero museum. Botero was a Colombian artist and you’ve probably seen his work. I really enjoyed the museum and got to see a lot of nice art.
That night, we planned to go to the cinema and watch the new Van Gogh movie, but we were late. Therefore, we watched Beautiful Boy instead. It was actually very very good, though depressing, and I recommend it to teenagers. Be warned! When it finished, we were just in time for the next showing of Van Gogh, but I was very disappointed. Though it had potential, the filming was bad, the script was bad, the directing was bad. It was just bad. The next morning we woke up and did homework. After that, Aba and I went to the mall and the craft street, but the stores were closed. Then, we went to the airport and flew to Quito, Ecuador. On the flight, I watched the last three episodes of the Cuba Libre series and worked on more homework. When we got to the apartment, I did more homework and am now blogging. Goodnight! 7-6-26 22-3-21 9-3-13-26 15-13-3-18 18-24-6-17-6 1 4-12!
