Monday morning, we packed up the telescopes and got them ready for shipping back to the US. Diana had been telling us about one of her favorite places near Bogota -- a large underground cathedral made of salt outside of Zipaquira. Sure enough!

The cathedral is commonly called one of the major achievements of modern Colombian architecture.
