My visit With Gorge Armando Hernandez-Day 2_First Impression

So I woke up at 6:00AM local time because I really want to meet Gorge. I had to call for a taxi and it was waiting outside, probably even before I woke up. The cabby or "taxista" was not the nicest man but he was a  good driver and on our way to Gorge's house we saw a couple of really historic, cool looking churches. Finally after a six hour drive I arrived at Gorge's house, it seemed to have taken forever (Which it kind of did). Probably because I was nervous about meeting him and it took six hours. He lived in what looked to be an average sized house with a garden and lawn in his front yard. He was standing in his driveway with his wife and child. I exited the cab with a very large grin on my face and Gorge and his family sent 3 bright smiles right back at me. I walked up to them and gave them a very chipper and upbeat "Hola!", and again they each gave it right back. Gorge said "Por favor sue venga.", and I replied "¡Gracias!". Inside there house they had three rooms that include there son's room, his and his wife's, and a rather spacious living room. Because it was noon local time Gorge offered to take me out to lunch/dinner with his family which I gladly accepted because I hadn't eaten all day! We hopped into his pick up and went to a restaurant called Andres Carne de Res, and to express to you how good that was and how fun it was going there here is a review from http://worldtop7.com/best-restaurants/colombia/bogota.aspx


If you haven't been to Andres you haven't been to Bogotá; "ANDRES CARNE DE RES" is out of town in Chia, about 30 minutes drive; started in 1994 as a place to hang out with your family on a Sunday afternoon; it's a bar, a restaurant and a party place in one; the decor is amazing and authentique with Colombian ornaments, old photographs, mattresses, bells and candles; Andres specializes in Colombian food with a focus on grilled meat: great "t-bone steaks served with tortillas and filled tomatoes"; amazing vibe and open until late; make sure to have someone who's driving you home! In any case, drivers-to-rent wait outside.

We started to head home at 8/9 and his son was fast asleep. During the car ride I fell asleep and when we arrived back at his house Gorge gently woke me up and offered for me to stay at his house I felt very bad staying at his house, especially considering that he took me to dinner. I payed with some of the money my parents had given me to spend. He walked with back into there house and let me sleep on there couch after giving me a blanket. The moment my head touched that pillow I was out like a light.
