Colombia Trip: Day Five (Medellin)

What occurred to day 4 you ask? Well, I actually did practically nothing of note, or at least absolutely nothing that was so important that I wanted to weblog about it. I went to this giant outdoors mall with a couple men and women from Germany where we shopped for footwear in about a hundred diverse little shoe stores, each and every selling the precisely similar footwear. Then the rest of the day was spent arranging travel arrangements, choosing up a handful of souvenirs, and ultimately watching “In The Name Of The Father” back at the hotel with an Australian, an Englishman, and an Irishman. We virtually had the entire British Commonwealth covered. Wonderful movie although, I wasn’t expecting to come all the way to Colombia to find out a new-discovered interest in the Northern Ireland conflict.

Anyways, immediately after almost absolutely everyone I met and spoke with (both in English and in broken Spanish) I took their tips and headed to Medellin. It genuinely is accurate what every person said, the persons right here are amazingly friendly and the climate actually does feel like an everlasting spring. Also poor I only have a couple days here I’m flying out to Cartagena and lastly to the beach tonight. Time to start experiencing some sun once more.

Here’s the view of the rolling green hills around Medellin.

Medellin is known for their amazingly colorful buses (amongst other factors).

This trip is shaping up to have alot of Botero in it. The Museo de Antioquia is unquestionably the greatest museum I’ve been to so far. Out front is the Plazoleta de las Esculturas, which has about 20 giant Botero sculptures to see. Even improved, even even though becoming a Sunday, it felt like I had almost the entire museum to myself (for only about US$2.50) where I saw absolutely everyone from Diego Rivera, Julian Schnabel, Botero, and perhaps one particular of Medellin’s most popular artists, Pedro nel Gómez.
