Having heard such great things about Colombia, we decided to head South on a relatively quick flight to the capital, Bogota. Zhenya couldn’t get away from school, but the little ones joined Mommy and Daddy.
Bogota offers a lot to see and do, but the first stop was ice cream!
We enjoyed a view of the busy city life from our apartment.
My wife was able to perform her signature jumps, even in the rain!
We were amazed at the quantity and quality of the street art.
Princeton kept cozy in his tiger jammies and treats.
We next flew to Medellín, once the murder capital of the world, but after the Pablo Escobar era, now a much safer destination. Daddy had to figure out how to get a ride from the airport.
Again we lucked out on our apartment, a high-rise penthouse for less than $50 a night.
The view of the city was a highlight.
We even found a wonderful nanny who helped with the kids and adventures.
One of our highlights of Medellin was a fruit tour in the marketplace.
Princeton found some new flavors!
Infinity also partook in the samples.
There are definitely fruits that you cannot get in the USA.
Of course, we took some back to the pad…
Besides fresh fruit, they also combine and blend them into excellent juices and smoothies.
The city of Medellín has a lot of walking and biking trails, it seems that on sunny days a good portion of the city is out enjoying the outdoors.
Daddy had a tough time staying away from fresh arepas de chocolo!
A cable car trip above the city provided a bird’s eye view.
The park at the top was a breath of fresh air.
This time Infinity gets the glamor shot.
