Although we're only a long weekend into our trip, I feel like I've been here for weeks already. Everyday so far has been full enough with activity that we are ready for bed by 10pm. There's no daylights savings here, so it doesn't help that it's dark around 6:30, too. Our favorite thing to do so far is to sit out on the balcony of my grandparents' condo. Monte says he could sleep out... Read Full Entry

Hiking the hills around the finca

A good view of the property

The two villas, the caretaker's house, and some of the surrounding hils

New calf

A new baby cow was just learning to walk.

I took a little ride on Pelulah

Paragliders

Rafa took us to check out the paragliders. We considered doing it another day, but ran out of time.

It looked so much scarier up close.

A good view of part of Medellin from the paragliders' hill

The view from the kitchen baloncy

We were on the edge of the city, our tower backed right up to the side of a mountain.

Our typical breakfast on the balcony

Medellin is so green.

I loved that the tall buildings and city streets shared the landscape with all those trees and mountains.

Sooo glad
Glad to get the news of your fun trip. I can imagine the lovely view from the 20th floor and would love to feel the cool breeze--it's 94 here in GA at 9:00 PM, so enjoy! The food sounds wonderful too--can't wait to see the pix! Say Hi to your grandparents for us!

WoW!!!!
Loved reading your comments on your trip! Sounds as though you both are having a great time.......Getting dark at 6:30 doesn't sound so good but it would probably appeal to Papa since he likes to go to bed early. I will be looking for your updates and can't wait to see all your pictures! Love, Birdie

Fun sightseeing
I'm so glad you are getting to see lots of "foreign" sights -- that is so very interesting and will give you tons of grand forever-memories. How is the Spanish progressing, Jessi? Habla Espanol mas y mas un dia? My sentence structure is often lacking -- perhaps you can teach me more Spanish when you return from your immersion into the language and culture. Can't wait to hear more about your adventures. Love, Sandra
