Medellin was a bit weird. I met up with Adam's friend Liam, and we shared a hotel room. This was my first grievance. Who stays in a hotel? Why is a hostel not good enough? I spent $250 on this fucking thing! We then proceeded to go to the nicest restaurants and out DRI king each night while taking dozens of cabs from place to place because Liam was soir from too much walking.
Despite paying way too much for my time, I did like the city. It was clean and beautiful. The transit system was very nice, and the chairlift over the city as a part of it was cool. I thought the gringo area was nice, and we saw plenty of expats (especially on Sunday as we watched NFL n a bar). I also really enjoyed when on Saturday night we went out in the local area of town. It was obviously less done up, but it was genuine. I even enjoyed myself despite having some guys try to fleece us into buying them drinks.
My overall impression was incredibly positive, despite spending and drinking way too much. I really am coming to like column a and appreciate its beauty in the cities, nature, and women!
