cali christmas lights
so here we go again, the battle of the best illuminated city during the festive season, I must say ( yes I must) the walk along the rio cali now the lights are on is very pretty I think they should leave them all year round its gives an almost child like fantasy wonderland feel which uplifts the spirit, obviously it does nothing to help the homeless that sleep along the river bank but hey god works in mysterious ways

la campiña says on Dec 1, 2007, 14:57: there is an ongoing battle between Cali and medellin like the cartel de papa noel for the best lights, normally Medellin win, sorry if your not aware of this or maybe you are, hopefully you are hence your question, but the powers that be judge this mini scuffle

la campiña says on Dec 1, 2007, 15:34: hope you enjoy, this year the lights go a little further because of the MIO construction they follow the route and with trepidation I can almost say more of the river walks are safer to enjoy especialy north of CAM, almost as far as the bus terminal, Cali ! a romantic walk along the river, it could happen, hope so.

Buongone says on Dec 1, 2007, 16:48: The lights of Cali are just Great. Can't believe they do that by hanging wire ovr the river. One of the best light shows I've ever seen. If in Cali for the Feria, just remember, "People Everwhere", taxis are hard to get. It will be crowded.
