On Christmas Eve, we were in Paipa and heard about a tour to go and visit some little pueblos and see their wonderful Christmas lights. We met this couple in our last pueblo. They were dancing in the town plaza for about one hour. They were dancing a dance called the Carranga. This is a dance that is local to the area in Boyaca. Both of these people are professors of socialogy in Bogota. They invited us to go to their hotel. It belongs to the lady's family. We had a nice visit with them. The man said, while he is in Bogota, he has to dress like a professor, but when he is in this little pueblo, he can let his hair down and dress the way he wants because his students are not watching him.
