Today’s post comes from our friend and fellow Official Blogger Diana from Bogota Eats and Drinks. Diana, thanks to her upbringing and educations, knows a great deal about food and her blog is a great source of information for where to eat and drink in Bogota (as the name suggests).

Thank God it’s Friday!
