Medellin, Colombia

On the travel train again! Colombia. Started out the trip with a couple days in Chicago. And in true Olson tradition, my dad decided last minute to join me.

Medellin is pretty metropolitan. Went to the botanical gardens and aquarium today. The orchid exibit was impressive. It was housed in a large wooden open-aired gazebo that was as interesting as the plants themselves.

Heading to Santa Marta tomorrow. Then to a smaller town that is said to be a little backpacker haven, but have heard that it's worth going to. Hopefully we'll get some diving in.
