i met "Acara" (i cant spell her name..but thats how its pronounced) in front of the museum of contemporary art in downtown medellin. she sits down people watching all day, and every 15 minutes, she stops one of the vendors for a bon bon. her favorite, she told me, was apple loli-pops. sweet lady.
always odd to me that national heroes, in this case simon bolivar, have these magnificent statues of themselves mounted in park centers. and every time you look at them, the peole sitting in front of them are indiffernt to the legacy.
Homer is one of the elderly guys that sits down in parks all day. I struck up conversation with him to practice my Spanish, and ended up having a pretty funny conversation.
i want this bike.
liliana is a medical student here. struck up good conversation with her after i got lost on my first day.
i miss the nyc subway. for now its the medellin metro.
the proper way to chill in parks.
if anyone knows the name of this scupltor...please let me know. they've got an entire park here full of his work, and i really like it.
and no matter where you go, cant escape homeless. there are a million images of homeless i've seen for every 1 that i actually snap with my camera.

hiding out the rain feeling grateful to a lot of things, like having to meet you and share some of all this with you. Now back in another way of living but don't feel too bad...the inner journey just got started =) wish we could be closer though!
