We flew yesterday from Cartagena to Medellin. And what a difference. Cartagena is a hot and steamy tropical Caribbean beach city. Medellin is a sophisticating burgeoning city located in a valley surrounded by mountains. It is a working city and we are staying in an affluent neighborhood.
Colombians, especially those in Medellin. Have been through hell – a war in their town that impacted friends and family. Many saw friends gunned down – while innocently living life. Playing soccer, going to work. They seem to be a resilient people. They are living for today.
