Welcome to my neighborhood

Today was Colombian Independence day, and it also happened to be one of the most beautiful days in weeks.  We decided to walk up to Monserrate to enjoy the holiday.  I took this picture on the way up of my part of town.  I didn't label the cemetery, but it's across the street from the park.  Also, Palo Quemao, the big market, is across the street from the mall.

And, some bonus photos, just because



Monserrate with a Colombian flag bunting for Independence day

According to my sources, these beautiful flowers are also extremely dangerous. 



Amazing the colors on this one
