Medellin & Guatape; Sam & Victoria
Stop #6, January 12-22
Ugh, crap! I haven’t written at all! Lots of details missing, but jotting down what I remember is definitely better than nothing.
After Jardin, Sean, Josh, and I stayed at an airbnb in Envigado, super close to the school we went to when we first arrived. We spent 3-4 days there exploring and continuing to hangout and have fun. One of the days we hiked to a waterfall, the same one Sean and I hiked to the day we thought we’d die on this hike. This time we just did the lower half of the hike… we didn’t feel like risking our lives this time!
Other times we played catch in La Cancha El Dorado with the Nerf howler football Josh brought for Sean from the US. So many of the local kids running around playing sports stopped to join. They were so curious about this mysterious football and kept asking were it came from and what it was called! They loved it so much.
Another day we checked out Medellin’s free Botanical Gardens, which had tons of huge Iguanas running around!
My bestie from college Sam, and her sister Victoria, met us in Medellin at a different airbnb late on Thursday night. They only had the weekend here, and so we packed it all in!
Friday we explored Comuna 13, and at night we went to this absolutely absurd bar called Dulce Jesus Mio, which means “my sweet jesus”. This place was an absolutely party. I can’t really explain it… but that’s why I have lots of photos and videos :)
Saturday we checked out Parque Arvi, then headed to Dimeli (our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood) for our favorite plate... the falafel burger! Sean and I talked about it so much that everyone ordered it. Seriously, all 5 of us ordering the same thing at a restaurant! But, it was so good that the girls were raving about it the next morning!!
On Sunday we headed to Guatape in our rental car (yes we rented again!) to spend the first half of the day canyoning, then the second half exploring Guatape. We took everyone on the same canyoning tour we did with Manuel from our Work exchange program, and everyone absolutely loved it. It was such a blast, especially to do all together! There was this huge waterfall where we zip lined down last time, but this time everyone decided to jump. I didn’t (HELL NO!) I faced my fears cliff jumping plenty in this last year traveling and didn’t need to push it. This jump was around 40ft tall which is HIGH! Sean and Sam basically had to trick themselves into doing it, meanwhile Josh committed to jumping off before he even saw the cliff. Thats why we call him Reckless Josh!
On Monday, our last [half] day together, we played Tejo. Tejo is the national sport of Colombia that involves gun powder and explosions. I was extremely bad at this game, and everyone else was actually pretty decent. Either way, it was totally fun to play!
Sam and Victoria left on Monday evening, and Sean, Josh and I spent Tuesday shopping and walking around Laureles (our most frequented neighborhood in Medellin). The boys got fresh haircuts and I got a pedicure in preparation for the beach! We went out for Mexican food on our last night together, getting both full and tipsy for cheap. We played cards, of course, and just had fun hanging out.
We headed to the airport together on the next day. Josh left for Colorado, and Sean and I left for Cartagena; it was time to meet up with my Mom and cousin Maria for a long weekend.
Thanks for reading fam! I think once all the visitors leave I will actually have more down time to journal more thoughtfully, although its been a blast having everyone!! :)
Love you all.
