I tried to go to the Botanical Gardens here but didn't make it in time and decided to check out El Parque Bolívar instead. It's a popular hangout spot for locals because it's got lots of recreational facilities and is also heavily policed. They aren't in focus because I was pretending to be photographing this statue but you can actually see one of the many groups of soldiers standing around next to the roller skating track.
Who new roller skating was still cool in some places? There were even a dozen or so kids in sneakers training with a coach off the court. They looked really silly while practicing but they were actually really good once they got on the track in their crazy spandex suits, all pulling off the dizzy stuff you see pro figure skaters do on TV.
Oh, and for some reason there was an Avianca airplane. Never quite figured that one out.
