shoomlah: Joel and I have officially Steampunk’d our cubicle. My coworker brought in his steampunk rifle, so I decided to MYST-ify the rest of the bookshelf!  Naturally. You can’t see the MYST book itself, but take solace in knowing that it’s hidden back by the light bulb.  Hidden, as all good linking books are.

Hotel del Salto | Tequendama Falls, Colombia

Eyes on Colombia:

In 1924, the then-luxurious Hotel (Refugio d)el Salto was inaugurated on the cliff facing the waterfall but due to contamination of the river water, believed to be a result of the popular locale, it was closed in the early 90′s. There has been talk of reopening it and restoring it to its former glory (but as a museum or even a police station) which might help rid the place of its apparent ghosts. They are said to haunt the hotel and according to the caretaker, are believed to be from the old days when bar fights on the second story would end up on its balcony, sometimes resulting in a drunk patron losing more than the fight.
