Photo Essay: Christmas Lights in Medellin
I previously shared the lights of Envigado in December, so let’s head north to the display set up by Medellin along the river that runs through the city. This is the real epicenter of holiday decorations in the valley,…
Photo Essay: Envigado in December
“Wow” was my first reaction upon seeing Envigado in December. I’d never seen anything like the lights strung above the streets. Since all Colombian cities, towns, and pueblos feature a main square, it’s possible to have…
Halloween at Mango’s
Last Saturday night, on the eve of Halloween, I headed to Mango’s Discoteca with a group from the International House Medellin (where I lived back in August). We arrived before the doors opened, which worked out well…

Botanical Gardens
For the picture of the week, here’s a quick shot of the lake in the Botanical Gardens. There are a bunch of ducks and very pretty lily pads that I enjoyed quite a bit. The gardens are very nice…and free. If it was in…
La Catedral

Photo of the Week – Me and My Personal Trainer
Camilo was not shy about pushing me to work hard at Dinamo, the gym a few blocks from Maira’s apartment in Envigado. On the other hand, I’ve gotten several compliments since returning home, so apparently all the hard…
Photo of the Week – The Cow Across the Street
Go to Sabaneta on a Friday night and you might run into a few horses tied up on the street outside a bar while their owners enjoy a cold one. Roll past Palmanova Apartments in Envigado where I was living, and you’ll see…

Colombians love The Simpsons, and I saw this restaurant named after Homero on the bus ride back from paragliding in San Felix.
Photo of the Week – Mountain Views
I look out the windows of my (Maira’s) apartment often. The weather pattern can be constant for weeks at a time, but within each day, you can have a wide range of conditions. The last two months have been part of the…
Photo of the Week – Street Ads
There is no shortage of advertising posted around Medellin highlighting upcoming events. I thought this duo of posters presented the perfect contrast of opportunities: a youth-oriented Saturday night with classic and…
Photo Section Added
I added another new feature to the blog – a photo page. Unlike my Medellin sets on Flickr, these photos are hand-picked and represent the best shots I’ve taken. I have two albums – both viewable via automated slideshow.…
Photo of the Week – Sushi
Since discovering the 12,000 ($5) peso Business Menu at the Sushi To Go location in Parque Lleras, I have been all too happy to stop in for some fresh fish a few times per month. The deal runs from Monday to Friday,…
Photo of the Week
I think this photo sums up my view of the world for 3-4 hours per day, 6 days per week. It is the fancy, modern laptop I use at the copy shop across the Las Vegas Avenue entrance to EAFIT. A large screen makes blog…
Photos of the Week
David’s (Mexico) willingness to forward my teaching advertisement via e-mail to friends and peers lead to my first regular private student. Just yesterday, he mentioned another person he knows might be calling me soon.…
