Bowling in Bogota

My Colombian hosts dubbed me ¨La Terminadora" after tonight’s bowling showdown at La Bolo de San Francisco. There is no electronic pin setter or scorekeeper at this bowling alley - everything is done by hand. Our pin setter proved it pays to be quick in this line of work. There were many times the pins ricocheted off his shins and the ball barely skimmed his ankles. The job might have its setbacks, but judging by their sweaty shirtless bodies, these pin setters stay in good shape.
