Few weeks ago, on a lazy sunday afternoon I went to have a 'diploma walk'. I went to carefully investigate Parque Simon Bolivar where my diploma plot is, and all its surroundings. To my surprise I discovered quite some new buildings around, and loads of people of all ages just hanging around.. one more time I convinced myself it actually is a good spot for my project.
Also some ornaments - i continue my hunt for them, but not many nice, original examples have survived.

My stay here in Colombia is coming to an end.. 2 more weeks and.. Ciao, Colombia!! Hola, Mexico!!
I miss my country now, I will miss the messy Colombia, when I'll get home. I'm happy to be coming back and I'm sad to leave. I guess a lot will understand me well. Colombia was an incredible experience, it was pretty schocking to see the social differences that exist here between the poor and the rich ones, something europeans never get to see in their own countries. The hospitality and constant smiles on all peoples' faces here worked as an everyday dose of optimism and cheerfulness. Since almost no people here spoke english I have finally been made to achieve a decent level in my spanish, allowing everyday communication. I have not seen even 5 % of what's Colombia like, but from all the travels I have brought only good memories. The traffic here
is ridiculous, the cities and architecture a bit messy but still evolving like the economics, the people amazing and the nature and views unforgettable.
Last trip to Medellin, in Europe known only for being the Escobars' city.. but there's so much more to it.. The second biggest metropolis in the country, the city of 'Colombia Moda', the Metrocable, the flower festival and the orchids, the food and the parties!
