Katherine in Colombia!




Hi family and friends!
My roommates and I are enjoying exploring together on long weekends (puentes). Rebecca and I went to Moserrate the other day, it is a beautiful church on the top of the Andes Mountains! We rode a cable car up to the top and had a great view of the city.
We got lost when we were trying to find someone's house! There are new addresses and old addresses here on every street corner and lots of big buildings. Sometimes the old one has an X through it, and sometimes you don't know if anyone ever wrote the new address on the building or if they just didn't write an X through the old one. Anyway, the Corredor family had invited us over for dinner, to make Lomo al Trapo, a Bogotan dish. You wrap a big piece of beef loin in cotton that has been spread with a kilo of salt. Then you wrap it with twine and throw it in the fireplace! After about 20 minutes the cotton and salt has become a cast keeping the meat very tender! It was a delicious dinner and with great company.
