Medellin

I didn't get to spend too much time in Medellin, but what I did see was pretty cool. The weather was nice, a little cloudy but a good temperature. Its known as the city of spring.

Medellin is set in a valley so on every side are these big green rolling hills. You can take a cable car up and over some of them, which gives you an awesome view of the city.

The next day, this guy John and I decided to go paragliding. It was awesome! It was so cheap too, $40. So you go up to the top of this hillside, they tie you up and you run as fast as you can of the mountain. It was the craziest feeling. Apparently, we didnt have very nice weather for it, but I still had an amazing time. But the more wind and turbulence there is, the more fun and tricks you can do, and we had no wind. Next time...

So high up!

Are you kidding me with the hand gliding??? That is, in my opinion, the coolest thing you have done so far. Ugh i wanna come meet you somewhere and go hand gliding over poor people's houses...
