Botero is probably more famous for his sculptures than his paintings.

This is the "Baby Beef" entree, a strip of beef with a tasty sauce of garlic, parsley, peppers and oil on the side. Cost was approximately $11 USD.

The mountains help make Bogota more easily navigable, as they are so near and lie due East of the city.
