And there's still more I loved about Colombia

See photos below:
Grilled mushrooms at Arvi, at the top of one of the Medellin public transit gondolas
The colonial buildings in Bogota, Medellin, Santa Fe de Antioquia and Cartagena
Fernando Botero, the most prominent modern Colombian artist (I'll do a separate page of some photos of his works)
Bean, rice, cheese and chicken stew at Rosarita's, near the Medellin airport (and Rosarita's beautiful gardens)
The excellent guides at the Medellin Aquarium
Walking on Cartagena's city wall
The commitment to education and the large number of universities everywhere
The courtyards you could peek at through wrought iron gates
That everything in our hotel room in Santa Fe de Antioquia was for sale, tagged with the price, including the chandeliers
The demonstrations in Bogota
Beronica, our guide in Bogota
The courtyard at the Hotel Santa Clara in Cartagena
How clean all the places we visited were
How strong and independent the women are
The cultural/racial mix of people
