A quick farewell dinner with Leticia, Juli, and family.

Enjoying the farewell double rainbow from Leticia's balcony.

The warm and welcoming reception area of 61Prada Guest House. Highly recommended!

>1.5m attended the Sillera Parade. We did not. But all the silleras were on display in Plaza Major.

Appreciating beauty at Museo de Antioquia.

We took the teleférico up from Medellín to Parque Avrí where we had coffee with Dini.

Small world. We met this German couple in Puerto Rico in May, and then here and now in Medellín.

Botero sculptures are fun to view, except this one destroyed by a terrorist in 1995 with 23 killed.

Miguel, our knowledgeable guide on the Post Conflict Historical Tour of Medellín.

This delightful lady was our server for breakfast at Multipan, across from Parque Boston.

Museo Casa de la Memoria is a poignant reminder of the violent conflict in Colombia, ending in 2017.

Casa de Memoria is to Medellín what District 6 Museum is to Cape Town. IYKYK.

Exploring Medellín

After a night with Juli and her family at their finca, we all drove back to Medellín to visit Juli’s mom at her apartment. We hadn’t seen Leticia since 1995 - and she hasn’t changed a bit 30 years! After a quick dinner and saying our goodbyes, Vicki and I went to 61Prada, a charming guest house in the Prada section of Medellín. We based ourselves here for exploring Medellín, Colombia’s second largest city, which has gone from being “the world’s most violent city” in the mid-1990s to welcoming 2.4 million tourists last year. Highlights included the Museo Antioquia, the teleférico to Parque Avrí, several excellent meals, and a stop at Museo Casa de la Memoria just before we started our return road trip to Santa Marta.Читать далее
