Today was a pretty eventful day as well, but rather than experience Barranco during nightlife we decided to explore during the day. Styling my new pair of boots, I and some others went to the Museo Pedro de Osma, which is an art museum that used to be the summer home of the Osma family. I don't have much to say about the museum except that the art and building were wonderful. Also, I've come to the conclusion that I really like modern/contemporary art. :) Here are some pictures, since I can't put the artwork into words:

| La Sala de Plata (The Room of Silver) |
 |
| Room full of artwork done by modern artist, Vidal Bedoya |
 |
| Espiritus Guerreros |

Back in the days, artists didn't have a lot of money to buy
canvas so they would aint over their other paintings. This is a painting
showing parts of some other paintings underneath. |

You don't have to go to a museum to see art in Barranco. Do you think the
dog knows that he is laying in front of a picture of a dog? |
Tonight, I went to a movie with my host mom and a friend at the church. Apparently they show a free movie every Sunday and collect non-perishable items for the poor. We watched a movie called El abuelo (The Grandfather). It was nominated for an Oscar at some point in time. It was an overall good movie and had a lot of good quotes in it that made you think. After the movie, we had a small talk back, I felt like I was in class. :) It was interesting hearing the opinions of adults, but I didn't contribute to the conversation..whoops sorry professors! I definitely would recommend seeing the movie though. Buenas noches.
