On Saturday we went to La Matraca bar, a tango place. I don't like tango but I wanted to see the place of which I heard a lot before. It was beautiful, with many colourful pictures on the walls. However, I couldn't bear the music and others seemed to be bored too so we went to a salsa place called El Ricón de Heberth (in the picture: Dominika from Poland and her Colombian boyfriend in the middle). It's a new bar, small but you can dance outside in the street, like in La Fuente bar.
Yesterday I was invited to a trip to Dapa. It's a place in the mountains from which you can admire a wonderful view over Valle del Cauca (Cauca Valley where Cali is situated). We went to a restaurant called Racamandapa, sat at a table with the great view, had some typical food (bowl of hot chocolate with cheese) and talked for hours. There are also two discos, one with salsa music and another with electronic music. It was very quiet though as few people come to the place on Sundays.
After the trip we went to a cinema to see "Hereafter", a great film called in Spanish "Mas Allá de la Vida".
