11/2008: Bogota, Colombia: Flowers of Bogota : So beautiful!
The weather in Bogota is so unique. It is the same every day of the year. It gets chilly at night, an average of 45 degrees, never less than 43 or more than 47! During the day year round, it is never warmer than 66 degrees or cooler than 63!! Not being used to it, I was freezing the whole time I was there. :) There is no heat in the houses there, but I slept under three blankets with long underwear, pj's, a sweater and my jacket and scarf on. I was fine and slept great!!

They would all roast in Gulfport!!

11/2008: Bogota, Colombia: The Salt Cathedral : The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira is an underground church built in a tunnel of salt mines 200 metres inside a salt mountain near the town of Zipaquirá, in Cundinamarca, Colombia.

Curving and twisting tunnels descend into the Roman Catholic church, passing 14 small chapels representing the stations of the cross, which illustrate the events of Jesus' last journey. Each station has a cross and several kneeling platforms carved into the salt structure. The temple at the bottom has three sections, representing the birth, life, and death of Jesus.

Salt deposits in Zipaquirá were formed 250 million years ago, and were raised above sea level during the late Tertiary period, when the Andes were formed.

Years before Zipaquira's Salt Cathedral was built, miners had carved a sanctuary.

In 1950 the construction of a bigger project was begun: the Salt Cathedral which was inaugurated in 1954. However, as the cathedral was carved inside an active mine, structural problems and safety concerns led the authorities to shut down the sanctuary in 1990.

In 1991 the construction of a new Cathedral was undertaken, 200 feet under the older one. This new Cathedral was inaugurated in 1995. Its various corridors and sanctuaries were achieved by making small but significant additions to the caves left behind by previous mining operations.
Water seepage is again taking it's toll on the inner mountain and eventually a whole new cathedral will have to be excavated again.

The name "Salt Cathedral" is mostly to attract tourists - while a functioning church that receives as many as 3,000 visitors on Sundays, it has no bishop and therefore no official status as a cathedral in Catholicism.

I truly thought it was fascinating and well worth the visit.

9/2004 Budapest & Prague : This trip was supposed to be David and Barbara, but Brooke got to go because of Hurricane Ivan. No one knew where it would land and at the last minute, it turned and went to Orange Beach and Pensacola. It, destroyed our condo while Brooke and I were abroad. David stayed behind in case it went to Gulfport.
Forgive me for not remembering which city is which. Yea, I know, pretty dumb, but they are so similar. The city of Budapest is actually two cities in one. On one side of the Danube, is Buda and the other is Pest. FYI, Pest is pronounced Pesht.
