We've seen a lot of striking murals on the walls of Colombian cities, but there haven't been many opportunities on this tour to photograph them. An early morning walk near our hotel in Manizales, before our departure for Medellin, provided an opportunity to rectify this situation.
The drive through the mountains from Manizales to Medellin goes through some of the most dramatic scenery imaginable, with some canyons of Grand Canyon scale and vistas that must stretch at least a hundred miles. Here's a view from the place we stopped for lunch.
After checking into our hotel in Medellin and listening to a lecture about the troubles in the area and the remarkable recovery of the city, we walked through a lively area to a good restaurant for dinner. Along the way we passed this park with couples in deep conversation.
