Cathedral de Sal in Zipaquira Colombia

Today we visited "La Cathedral de Sal" outside of Bogota. We drove about an hour outside of the city with Jaime and Rosario to the Salt Cathedral which was built inside of a salt mine that has been in existence for centuries before the Spanish arrived. We walked about 200 meters down into the mountain and along the way are areas different crosses and statues carved into the salt rock. It was something amazing to see and the photos just don't do it justice because of the darkness of the cave. Gabriela was her typical relaxed self and slept on Monica's chest in the Baby Bjorn for all but the last 15 minutes of the hour and a half long tour.

Tomorrow is a holiday here in Colombia so pretty much everything is closed for the day, but I'll be working as usual tomorrow and then I'm sure we'll find a way to enjoy the evening and the city that has been our temporary home for the past four plus weeks. The photos tonight include a lovely shot of Mami and Gabriela just before she fell asleep on our way into the salt mine, two from inside, and one from outside looking out over part of the town below and the mountains in the background.
