Museo del Oro Y La Candelaria

My mama and Zina came to visit over Thanksgiving and we had such a great time with them here. We miss them so much already! I am so grateful they were willing to make the trip down. One day while they were here we went to see the Gold Museum and the oldest part of Bogota called, "La Candelaria." The museum was amazing! There were so many artifacts from all over Colombia and Central and South America. They were gorgeous. Here are some of our favorites.

 My mom bought some beautiful replicas that look just like the earrings!

Here we are touring La Candelaria.

After seeing the old town we went for a typical Colombian lunch. It was SOOO good!!! We loved it all.

 Colombian empanadas.

 Grilled fish with coconut rice.

 La bandeja paisa! A very typical Colombian dish with beans, rice, chorizo, seasoned ground beef, pork rinds and a fried egg on top. Mmmmm....

Lemon caper chicken. It was delicious! We had such a great time having lunch together. I love my mama and my Zina!
