Medellin, Colombia

Fog in the morning can hide the mountains

yes, I look like a gringo

Heading to town,

We are headed to the Metro, new and modern train

View from the train

The city neighborhoods climb the mountains

The Andes

Not a run on the bank, senior benefits day

Medellin

Markets

Things can be gridlock

I’m not sure what it is.

Not many private cars, but lots of cabs and buses

My friend and tour guide hails a cab

A city square

Festive and warm.

It’s not this warm in Chicago in December

Watching Medellin play Nacional. Medellin won!

It can be congested, but moves along.

Yes, the road up the mountain needs guardrails.

The international airport at Rionegro is much higher up than the main part of the city of Medellin.
