Hitting it out of the park with this writeup.

Hard-hitting (but fair) urbanism observations, reflections on the messiness of history, and a beautiful story involving a girl who dreams; a reminder that we can infuse magic into someone's life.

Brilliant, Justin. I’m loving the pictures, stories and these longer retrospectives mixed with your unique introspection is so impressive. You’re balancing observing thoughtfully but transparently. I’ll have to re-read your Mexico trip. And “world class city” - great to read some actual criteria that one could take into account when being aspirational.

Not sure how but you happened upon my favourite museum in all Bogota. I’m glad you enjoyed my country.

Canada Post has a 790 million loss. May curb mail delivery.

Are you collecting new stamps and mailing a forest of them back to CBC?

Brilliant writing Justin. Appreciated the thoughtful commentary on Bogota as most people I've met, even seasoned travellers, have raved more about Medellin (or coastal Cartagena) and haven't had much to say about Bogota. Hope to go some day.
