Medellin...The City of Eternal Spring


A few weeks ago, I was able to travel to Medellin to visit Jhonatan for his birthday. What an amazing trip! It was so great to see Jhonatan again and spend time with him in his country. Medellin is a beautiful city. It sits in a valley surrounded by mountains so no matter where you look, the views are awesome! Because of the spring-like weather all year, Medellin is full of green and beautiful flowers. The picture above doesn't do justice to the gorgeous views that abound in Medellin!

One of our first outings was to Parque Explora. It is basically a science museum run by the city. Outside is a large courtyard with physics exhibits. There were also buildings with an aquarium and geology exhibits. It was very well done with many helpful people at every exhibit. Here are some pictures of Jhonatan enjoying the physics exhibits....







I included this one just because he is so darn cute...

This is a park with a life-size model of a typical village outside of Medellin. I just love the flowers on the balconies, bright colors and tile roof.


Having lunch at Arepas con Todos. I have to say I miss the arepas but not as much as I miss this sweet boy...

The malls there were beautiful. Here is Jhonatan in front of a fountain that would spray all the way up to the third floor...

Our last day....

Spending time with Jhonatan in Medellin was amazing! I also loved getting to know the city and its people. I can't say enough about the lovely people of Medellin....so warm and friendly!
