Sun Structures

My trip there for a story in the December/January '14 issue was a wonderful whirlwind of old city enchantment, deep-fried fare, and salsa nightlife in Cartagena followed by urban art, streetwear shopping, and one evening at a crazy multi-story, decked-out dining-drinking-dance club spot in Bogota. It's an awesome country with tons of exciting and up-and-coming stuff!" --Lisa Mischianti, editorial assistant
