Going to India in September, and looks like I’m going to Bogota in October as well… first return to international travel since 2018 😬

I haven't been to Columbia (but have been to Panama and Peru) and though I'm sure it's an understatement to say that "Romancing the Stone" provides an inaccurate description, it's what I think of whenever someone mentions Bogota. A favorite 80s movie.

Ohh also I just realized that it was Cartagena not Bogota. Time for a rewatch. I'm sure that movie influenced my sense of adventure at an impressionable age and I still love it. I wonder if being veg will be easier in Bogota since it's a much bigger city than the other two.

I don't quite know how to describe it but 80s movies were able to carry a sense of over the top implausibility in a way that a lot of modern movies can't quite pull off in the same humorous yet somewhat meaningful way. Another 80s movie that comes to mind: Jumpin' Jack Flash.
