Last night or should I say late afternoon Jeff and Ruby went to Pueblito Paisa which is a sort of an example of the past as well as a tourist trap. If you just visit and don’t buy anything there are a lot of examples of what the area looked like many years ago, there’s a museum that has pictures of the past, the present and projections for the future. Those of you with Facebook can see over a hundred photos obviously I can only put up a few at a time on the blog. You can see from some of the pictures how the city of Medellin runs right up the mountains. That’s what makes this area so beautiful you can also see the contrast of the modern and the old another thing that make s this country truly beautiful. When you get to the pictures of the mime remember these guys do this twelve to thirteen hours a day and are truly amazing. Another thing Jeff has noticed about this country is when you go to one of these country food stands the food tastes better then when you buy it in the supermarket and take it home to cook. Like take cheese for instance Jeff had this cheese in a country roadside restaurant a while ago and when Ruby brought the same cheese home from the market it wasn’t even close the same goes for just about all food. It will taste different from restaurant to restaurant because they make it themselves. It must be what America was like way back I the old days before everybody got lazy and they invented TV dinners and the Micro Wave oven. The young people back there don’t remember that so they don’t miss it. The food down here is the one that will be the hardest thing to modernize in the near future. Well it’s time for the Giant game and they say it will be televised down here, of course the commentary will be in Spanish but at least Jeff and I will get to see the game so we’ll see you later don’t forget to check out the photos Ciao.
