Today is Colombia's Independence Day and this year is the 200th Anniversary. So it's a really big day here with lots of celebrations going on around the country - including a concert with Juanes tonight in Medellin!
But this morning in Bogota, Uribe and some other government officials opened a 100 year old time capsule that had been filled and locked back in 1910! Included in the vault were -
Lots of pictures - of the governers, plans of Bogota, monuments and other notable areas of the city and a panoramic of Bogota. The lyrics and music from the 'Himno Nacional', and the "Acta de Independencia Nacional", along with 32 other documents.
Happy Birthday Colombia!
I'll bet there were 32 other things but they all decomposed in 100 years ;)
