Apto Compartir translates to Shared Apartment. Apto is slang.
Went to Poblado (UPscale) (Parque Lleras Pronounced Jyeras) last night with Sol,(happy hour the menu is 40% off) $53,000 for dinner for two after happy hour. Good steak, passable chicken wings & fries. Then stopped at another more upscale restaurant, Sol had a Monte Christo coffee, me a regular coffee for 16,000 COP's.
Mixed Martial Arts, a UFC fight was on one TV, cousin Jim and a bunch of us get together often to watch. The bars are capacity in the USA ($10/head in Palm Springs) & Canada to see them, I was the only one watching in Lleras, most were watching nothing or the football game.
I bought a cell phone in el centro, a bit of an adventure but ended up same cost as Exito I think. So Exito is probably best. Although the guy did unlock the phone so it will work with a Canadian card when I get home to Canada. You can buy mobile internet pretty cheap, about 50cents and hour plus startup I guess. I use Martas mobile stick.
Moved into Martas on Friday, It is nice and I am jsut getting
Ross' Apartment Sabaneta
Beautiful place and location, right in the heart of Sabaneta. Ross has a couple of rooms for $600/month each. used to the new routine now, Monday...the Palm Tree was good but a memory now.
A tooth fell apart 2 days ago. Got it fixed today, great experience. $75CND. First full day of cloud and rain in a month today, but still tee shirt weather just wet.
Went out to Sabaneta last night with Maria and had Morcilla (Mo see jya) basically Chorizo with rice, onions, pork, Sangre (blood), and spices wrapped in some intestine. It was pretty good. Little lemon juice and hot salsa with it.
Getting some glasses made but have to wait for an appointment about $75 including an exam from an optomtrist (not an opthamologist).
I had to pull the Parque Lleras night fotos. Copyright stuff. But here is a link to a very pretty foto of Medellin.

Good blogging
Morcillos sounds very much like the scottish blood pudding. I like unusual signs too. How long are you staying in Medellin?
