Porsche Club Road Rallye
Bogota Porsche Club Members at lunch. This was soft drinks and Ice tea for sure!
Speed on public highways is not a big deal? We essentially "raced" 100 miles [one way] on main public roads, dealing with car, truck, motorcycle, and a few horse carts in the mix. The National Army/Police are rarely visible, but sometime do set up roadblocks to check registration, etc.
The above is a Porsche G-2 . Really fast ! Owned by a friend of Fernando. He passed us numerous times, as he and Fernando are competitive. We were doing 230 K's, and he left us standing still.
Above is 2009 Ferrari, 12 cylinder. In this country, by the time you pay purchase price and import duty, you could easily have $ 300,000 ++invested.
This is Fernando's ride. A Carrera convertible and capable of more speed and power than I can handle!
Bogota Bull Fight
Bull fight in Bogota on Sunday, 01/30/2011.
The main attraction was the Young Spanish Bull Fighter, some of you, may have seen on US television recently. He is Pablo Hermoso. He and his trained horses [travels with 8] fight the bull from horseback, including the "kill". These horses are unbelievable, as they challenge and tease the bull. Occassionally the is able to "chase" the horse, never catching, because the horse will out smart the bull.
Modern apartment building and old Bull Ring in the Central District of Bogota.
Really spectatadors.
Inside Stables
Only "dreaming".....Nada said they would not look good at home ?
This is an Ireland import..Used only for pulling antique carriage. Beautiful, but requires "hair dresser"
Horse Stable adjoins Spa property
Hiro has "world class" horses and for that matter, probably "first class" accomodations.....? Take a look. He has about 100 horses stabled here and another 80-90 on adjoining ranch.
