Colombia

We spent almost all of February in Colombia. We went to Medellin, Guatapé, Bogota and Villa de Leyva. Here are some things that I found interesting in Colombia:

• All the milk in the supermarkets is in BAGS!!!!!!
• There are very many parks all over and some have swimming pools, exercise equipment, weightlifting, running tracks, basketball, yoga classes, archery, playgrounds and many different soccer games, one for girls, boys, adults and toddlers.
• In Medellin and Bogota, every single time we wanted to cross a street we had to RUN FOR OUR LIVES!!!!!
• The people in Colombia treat a coffee farmer named Juan Valdez like he was a king.
• I also saw a lot of the art of the famous Colombian  artists Fernado Botero and Nadin Ospina. Botero made many sculptures that are all over Medellin
  

and he made paintings for example his own version of the Mona Lisa

 

And here are some other random photos of Colombia:

And I had a great time visiting an old friend from P.S. 3 named Alicia.  She moved back to Bogota after first grade.
