This awesome website will show you various points of interest around Medellín, Colombia. I have actually been to all of these places except the Biblioteca España and the Metro Cable - and I will probably never go to either one due to my fear of heights! Anyway, enjoy the website!!!

Thanks to Adriana for sending!

This summer, my sister-in-law Luz Stella and her boyfriend Juan took my wife Adriana and me on a tour of Antioquia in Colombia. One of the places we went was to Guatape, home to “Piedra del Peñol”, a giant rock formation that sits on top of a mountain surrounded by man-made lakes (it’s a reservoir). It is really an amazing sight to behold!

Recently my wife found a 720 degree view of this natural wonder online. I have posted that as well as some other links to info about it below.

This is a commercial for Medellín, Colombia. The top one is the current version of this commercial, and below it is a version from the 1980’s. The one I am looking for is the one from the 1990’s because my wife is in it! Anyway, here are these two versions…

I was at this airport in Santa Marta in January this year. Luckily our trip went much better than this! Here are my photos from Santa Marta (the beach pics), and here is the story from today…
