Wake up in warm Medellin was a welcome change from the 40 temps in Bogota. We started the day by walking to a neighborhood called Laureles for a coffee at Cafe Revolucion. Then we walked the 10 short blocks to the Metro for our first ride on the train. It is amazing clean and efficient, we were told the people of Medellín (Paisas) are very proud of the transit.
We headed to the Museo de Agua, a museum sponsored by the water utility EPM. They have a barefoot plaza, where you aren't allowed to wear shoes but rather walk through a sensory garden and wade in fountains and pools. Then we headed into museum, which focuses on the importance of water through time and uses in today's Colombia. Very well done but we've noticed that Colombian museums have a flair for the melodramatic in their presentations.
Next was a quick stop at the ice cream shop to get our energy up and back on the Metro to Parque Explora, an absolutely world class museum with loads of hands on activities great for the entire family. Nevin was quoted as saying 'world class awesomeness.' We stayed till closing and decided we needed another snacker before heading home so we stopped at a plaza for dinner from Mexican food trucks on the side of the plaza. Nevin ate a hamburger and mama and I ate plantain with cream and guava paste and a BBQ chicken burrito. And I rolled the dice with a michelda, dark beer with lime juice salt rimmed glass, sliver of mango and pepper. It will be my last one.
