A morning spent teaching...
...some simply goodbyes to beautiful people...
...an hour flight of the most breathtaking clouds and landscape I have ever seen...
...and I arrived in Medellin.
I just entered a different world. I just exchanged dusty for wet. Humid heat to perfect cool. Sea salty air for lush rainy grass and pine. Full sun for pouring rain. Flat ocean to breath taking hills and valleys. Palm trees for every kind of tree. Poor, run down neighborhoods with sickly animals, for perfect roads and fields with herds of fat horses and cows.
And both of these places are Colombia? (Honestly, this area is exactly like my beloved Costa Rica. The rock walls we are driving along, the small rivers cascading down among the lush green, the deep valleys plunging down beside the road...)
Thankfully when I arrived, I easily found a bus to the city center and then a friendly man and his elderly mother spent almost a half hour helping me get a taxi during rush hour and didnt leave until I was safely on my way. (God is good!!)
The taxi ride took FOREVER and he didn't know the hostel, so after much time I asked him to drop me at the first hostel I saw. So, I am situated at Casa Blanca and have already met some people to hang out with. :)
And, a few of my volunteer friends are here as well, so hopefully we can meet up later.
Hasta luego.
