We landed in Medellin at about pm, and were greeted by a whole entourage of people! There were so many of us that we needed a bus to take everyone back to the house.

We stopped for lunch in an adorable little town outside of the airport, and list to data I was already struggling to remember who was who. This was just the group that picked us up from the airport!
For lunch, I ordered the typical Colombian platter of steak, rice, beans, chicarones (pork rinds), egg, avocado, plantains, arepa, and sausage. And no, I didn’t even come close to finishing this!

After lunch, we arrived back at
the house where Fabio’s dad grew up. The family had hung tons of balloons and a welcome sign to greet us!

to know the family, while I tried my best to follow along in mba programs are not cheap Spanish and remember which cousin/aunt/uncle I was talking to.
Luckily everyone was so warm and welcoming to me, and a few of the cousins spoke English so they were able to help me out.
I honestly was a little worried that it would be hard for me to fit in with a group of strangers who didn’t speak English, but it wound up being a non-issue. I couldn’t believe how welcoming and friendly everyone was, and it didn’t even seem to matter that it was difficult to communicate.
We spent the rest of the evening hanging out in the courtyard of the house listening to salsa music (some people danced, but I wasn’t ready for that yet) and getting to know one another. It was a great way to start the trip!

On Thursday morning, we set out to explore the city!
First we stopped off for some breakfast of empanadas and these little gems called papas rellenas, which were basically fried balls of potato deliciousness. Yum!

Then our group of “gringos” waited to board a tour bus that would take us around the city. Even though it was a weekday and most of Fabio’s family had to work, his uncle, Tio Juan taiwan lists Pablo, and Tio Juan Pablo’s girlfriend, Mary Luz, took time to venture around the city with us. So nice of them!

Truthfully the tour was pretty horrendous, and I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. Fabio and I are used to tours that provide a bit of a historical background on a city, and this tour gave us information like “there’s a softball field on your left” and “on your right is a public gym.” Ok fine, but that’s not really our cup of tea.What are the advantages of the Royaltoto site design and interface?
