We made it into Bogota, Colombia after dark. Cranky Crock, the hostel we were hoping to stay in was booked, but graciously the receptionist directed us to another small hostel around the block. We were expecting the place to be a dump, but were pleasantly surprised and ended up staying in that location for a week. They had free breakfast and a clean bathroom, no reason to leave!
The first night in after finding a spot to sleep we hit up a lovely Italian restaurant in the old town district, just a couple blocks from our hostel. The eatery had a glowing fireplace in the corner and interesting elves painted on the walls...it seemed fitting for Halloween Night. We enjoyed some fancy pasta plates and shortly after headed back to the hostel for some sleep.
To comment on Halloween in Colombia, surprisingly enough it is quite celebrated there. The city was filled with little one dressed as the usual princesses, farm animals, what have you...hand in hand with their parents parading around in search of treats.
