Any good Museums and Churches to visit in Medellin.

" Herself " is going off to the States today, for a few weeks and I need to know how to occupy myself ,in this lonely quiet city.
There must be something a fella could do in Medellin, alone for a few weeks. Some cultural sites that open early in the mornings, as I will, of course, be going to bed each night at 9pm .

haha... you see RAAY, it's not just us that go to bed at 9pm. Theyre all coming out of the woodwork now.

Well, i've had a couple of Macaw's in the freezer for while... was also thinking of a stew.
Apparently, the beaks taste nice in salad.

jajaja no sé porqué percibo malas intenciones... pero yo puedo darte los horarios de las misas en la Iglesia de Santa Teresita.(cercana a la Av. 33), también puedo sugerirte una guia turistica por algunos de los museos y le dices a robii que te acompañe y rezan los dos bastante por nosotros los pecadores.

There is a Botero museum. I am not a big fan of his style, but it was still interesting. I liked the bull charcoal piece that I had as my avatar for a while. The one I have now is by Obregon.

I actually have a poster of his Bull at home. I bought it at the museum. Aside from that piece, I really don't like his fat people style. I guess some of the sculptures are pretty good. The hand and the bird statues are cool. There are a bunch in the plaza outside of the museum.

You want to visit Museo de Antioquia.
El Castillo is a good visit too.
Take a trip to the library in Santo Domingo.
Visit La Candelaria.

A near disaster has just been averted................" Herself " almost did'nt get on the flight out of Medellin...........she was almost going to have to stay another day.

I would'nt have been able to get near a Church or Museum. She had forgotten a piece of paper for the dog......Avianca would'nt let her on the plane without it.............

I had 45 minutes to get to the airport or else she was gong to have to stay................F**k........I jumped on the bike...........although not a fast operator on a two wheeled machine, this was to much to risk..........her here for another friggin day..........agggghhhh
Quickest ride I ever had............foot pedals scraping off the tarmac............30 minutes later, at the airport, handed over the required paper.................now, time for a barrell of Peronis.....

Or go to the Cumbia festivals they are a lot of fun and the festivals represent Colombia culturally. Ask some paisas here on PBH they all know about all that stuff.

Thanks Buddy! Since you got all this spare time.

A day trip to El Penol on your bike would be fun. Whether you find trouble or not kind of depends on you.

Like Id like to be within 10 blocks of any church the moment RAAAY steps in one. RAAAY may you be in heaven 42 days before the devil knows youre even ill. Did you get the Happy St Guissepes (Josephs) Day card Robbi sent you? And since you ride a bike, do you really want the road to rise up to meet you?

True. I don't like looking at fat people in real life, I'm certainly not going to decorate my walls with them ;)

The Botero sculptures remind me of Americans, all overweight.
