So Medellin is called the City of Eternal Spring and after being here for a week, I'm going to have to say if Mother Nature made a permanent home on Earth, it would be here. You can find a different flower growing every few blocks and there are actual parts of the city where whole plots of vegetation are dominated by one type of flower. It's almost like stepping into a painting and every walk to class or the park is a new one. The hues that play off of each other are indescribable and words don't do these surreal scenes justice. However, I will try to with a few pictures here.
After growing up in Pittsburgh and not seeing green or sun for months at a time, it's quite a nice change. It is summer here now, Colombia is on the same schedule as the Northern Hemisphere, which is something I thought would be reverse after studying in Argentina a few years back. (Is 5 years considered way back yet?) Although, because we are situated between mountains the rain can and will fall at any moment. The other day it was 1pm with sun blazing, then withing 15 minutes dark and raining. Another half hour later the sun was shining again. I'm thinking an umbrella would be a wise investment in the near future.
