Pueblito Paisa and the Botanical Gardens

Most people take a taxi: mike is too hardcore... I mean that my knee hurt on the bus all night long.

At the top of the hill are these great views of Medellin. 

Mugging for cameras is what I do.


There is a small "museum" that has pictures from all over the city and some cool videos and this 3d map diorama.



Lots of plants as you'd expect.  But were you expecting turtles?!??!


There is a video. I will try to link to it later...


But were you expecting butterflies?!?!?!


There is not a video, butterflies don't take camera directions very well. They won't play your reindeer games even if you invite them (But you should invite then or else...)


It was a long but great last day in Medellin. I walked a million miles and said some goodbyes to some great folks. Occasionally while backpacking, the timing and intentions work out that a nice group feel developes.  It was really nice to spend a few days around such genuine and lovely people.
