Going Up a Mountain and Looking at Pots

Yesterday (Mon 16 July) we went up a mountain on a funicular railway. The mountain is called Cerro de Monserrate and it is 3152m above sea level. There are lots of excellent views down at Bogotá. The funicular ride was very steep and very short. At one point we went through a tunnel which was very dark except for a few lights in pairs on each side. After we came out of the tunnel we were at the top except for a short climb on foot.

We went to the same pasta and pizza restaurant again for lunch. You have to go through the kitchen and up some stairs to get to the dining room which only has about five or six tables. I had tagliatelle with sauce made from three mushrooms and fresh lemonade to drink.

Looks like these pots didn't eat their vegetables.
After lunch we walked to the archaeological museum which had lots of funny pots. Then we went to see the people who were at the restaurant we'd been to nearby, but they weren't home so we left a note.

  1. Funicular railways are quite scary aren't they?? I wonder what those pots were for, they look too big to be easily carried around.

  2. No, they are only scary to some people and that does not include me. I am not really sure what they could be used for. Ask an archaeologist.
