Field notes: Bogotá

Quite excited to be in Bogotá Colombia.  This city is absolutely beautiful.  From my vantage point (admittedly a narrow strip from the airport to the hotel, and then a walking-distance circle around the hotel), it´s quite impressive.  The streets are clean, although not antiseptic clean.  Everything is super green, from the medians on the main thoroughfares (like the 11) to the local park.  And to top it off, the architecture is impressive as well - a nice combination of brick texturing, large glass windows, and modern (but not over-modern) flourishes.  Definitely a sense of a progressive city, and can´t wait to check it out later this week.

In the meanwhile, some great drawings from a Bogotá-based artist on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/adalberto_camperos/ … hoping to connect up with him this weekend.

Stay tuned here on utilware.com for photos later this week.
