Viva Colombia!

Today was a bit of a slower day because I got a bunch of boring stuff done. I’m all set for my Q retake this weekend, so I had to move my flight and extend my hotel. The airline was pretty funny – first of all, you can only change tickets on the phone or in person. On the phone wouldn’t really work for me because of my lack of Spanish, so I found a storefront for Avianca nearby. When it came time to pay, I was even more amused: the change fee ended up costing a grand total of $13 USD to move from tomorrow to next Monday.

I also got a chance to refill the data on my phone and do some laundry. The most exciting thing from today, though, was very obvious if you walked around Bogotá: everyone was in their Colombia jerseys, because Colombia was playing in the Copa America today!

I went to a nearby bar to watch the game, and it was a blast. Everyone was in high spirits and Colombia won, putting them up 2-0 in the group stage so far!

Have a great day, and I’ll check in tomorrow!
