Bogota for the Creatively Historic






Our guide took us to the site of the first square and the first church in Bogota ranging back to the 1500s



Churches abound



Here is another church.









We loved the history of being there but we did not know the square had  become become something of a mecca for performers and improvisers .  These performers from Spain created a symphony  just by clapping their hands and dancing to the accordion player's tune.  The dancers glided on air as the accordion players turned out russian folk tunes.

 The Spaniards had the field until the native Columbians came by to perform.
