Saying goodbye to Latin America

Modern art museums, hipster vegetarian bars, a great metro, dollar beers, an obsession with recycling. Medellin was a vibrant city and the perfect place to say goodbye to Latin America.










Drinks with Chucho, our gracious host for the week.  How gracious was he?  Well, he and his girlfriend actually flew to Bogota for the weekend and left us the keys to their place.  Man, what a kickass couchsurf.


On our final day, we treated ourselves to paragliding in the hills above Medellin. Hell of an experience.


A quick video of the end of my paragliding experience, where my guy informs me we'll be crash landing in a field instead of back up at the top of the mountain.  Greeeat.  But at least as a final bribe, he spun us like crazy.





Now I'm in that weird limbo between not wanting the experience to end and feeling good about the prospect of some TLC back home. A hot shower and some clean clothes after living out of my backpack for two weeks sound amazing.
