More Monserrate pics

This is a view of the central city from the very top of Monserrate, it stretches quite a ways in either direction. There are 7 million people living in Bogotá and its suburbs.The inside of the cathedral during mass. It was standing room only with people packed into any open space.
The open air market behind the cathedral which I think follows the path down to the bottom of the mountain should one want to walk it. We bought some t-shirts from a vendor who lured us into his stall with his good English and promise of great deals for Americans. The man in the bottom right hand corner is Johny our driver, He speaks very little English but still managed to be a good tour guide.
This is the statute of Santa Guadeloupe across the valley. We gathered that it is a monastery or some such function. there is not a good road to the top of that peak so tourist do not go there but if you wanted to walk up there you could. The wall displays in the waiting line for the tram car showed someone walking a tightrope between two peaks so it might have been between this peak and Monserrate. If you could see a wide angle view you would see that this is quite a ways away and there is a deep valley between.
We have to get up early tomorrow morning to get to our ICBF appointment. Pray that it goes well and that we get assigned to the speedy court. (some judges are apparently much faster than others in getting through their paper work)
