Tabio Warnings Or Dangers

A comment on a blog site led me to Tabio. The blogger had of a small town with many craft shops, but mentioned the town had built a stadium that broke several laws and constantly put noises into a residential neighborhood. I caught a flota bus out of the Portal Norte terminal in Bogota and took the 45 minute ride. The bus passed through a town called Cajica that I added to my list of places to walk around. When it entered Tabio the bus bumped over cobblestone streets. Tiel roofed homes and business sported bright colors in interesting combinations. I arrived on a Friday a little after 7 AM and asked about a place to eat breakfast. A person waiting for a bus pointed in the direction of the center of town. There I found a beautiful church and a town square, not with a statue of Simon Bolivar, but a gazebo, but no place open to eat. But sticking out like a sore thumb and rising behind what I found out later were the city offices, was the ugly steel roof and plastic sided monstrosity mentioned by the blogger. While walking on a side street music began blasting from the stadium. At first I thought it was coming from the other direction as it bounced off the houses. No one in the neighborhood for at least a couple blocks needed an alarm clock. The sound level was almost painful. Going to the next street over I saw the front of the stadium with one side abutting farmland. Indeed the blogger was correct in saying that it was ugly and much different than the other buildings and homes in town. I walked almost 4 blocks away and could still easily hear the music from the stadium. This was still before 8 in the morning. Walking more of the town and away from the stadium I found a lovely small chapel up a hill a few blocks away. The view from there was amazing. But I wanted to see the arts and crafts in the shops. I was told most of the shops, that I was interested in, were in the area of the town square and open around 9AM or 10AM. I chose to leave rather than listen to the racket from the stadium until the shops opened and caught a bus to Cajica
