Commune 13

The fun continues. We went on a walking tour of an area called Commune 13. Our guide spoke perfect English and was fascinating. Medellin is split into districts and people living in each one are from the same socio-economic background. In the poorer ones the government fund building schools, supplying electricity and water. In the wealthier ones the residents pay higher prices for the infrastructure.
In Commune 13 there are 6 flights of escalators that the government have installed as the district is built on the side of a very steep mountain. The escalators mean the residents can get to work easily.
It is an incredible and crazy place.
Leaving Medellin tomorrow and going to Cali where I lived and worked in 1985 to 1986.Okumaya devam et
