Images, memories, and good times in Medellin. Good adventure with friends and meeting new people. Check out my Medellin food posts at . . . . .
We got to see the sites where Pablo Escobar was part of Medellin. We saw his lake side home, which was bombed. The community that Escobar built, where he is honored and loved with murals, art, and graffiti. Visited his former apartment home, which is a now a sober memorial that remembers the bombing and deaths he caused. And lastly we visited his grave and tombstone. This part of the trip is a reminder of how far Medellin has come from to where it is now. We are not honoring Escobar at all, but seeing the progress from the nightmares he caused to how great Medellin is now. People questioned the safety of the current Medellin. It has changed dramatically with the help of leaders and the community. . . . . . .
La Piedra - this rock has 700 steps. Amazing views of the Colombian rural area, about a couple hours away from Medellin. I’m embarrassed to say I only made it half way up. It is not an easy hike. My legs and knees were not up for the task. Luckily my friends made the hike. Thanks to my buds for some of the shots. . . . . .
Comuna 13 of Medellin, Columbia. Graffiti art adorned this interesting area of Medellin. Popular area had street performers with bars and street food. Glad we went during the week, since I could imagine it would be hella crowded on weekends. Great trip with friends. . . . .
