King of Spain visits Medellin

After Bush's brief 6 hour visit to Bogota and the less evident three day visit of Germany's president last week, the spanish King will visit Medellin from friday until sunday to inaugurate the XIII Congress of Spanish Academies, a meeting to discuss the future and current situation of the spanish language all over the world. There are about 400 different events throughout the city ranging from poetry readings to academic dissertations about the spanish language.
Hotels are at a 95% occupation rate.
On Sunday the King will fly to Cartagena where the IV International Congress of Spanish will also take place.

I wonder if the King will visit Mangos in Medellin?

I wanted access to health care, housing and education, but, no, I get potholes, trash and silicone tits instead. -Desi.

Not just King Juan Carlos will visit, Queen Sofia will also be accompanying him on this trip. They're gonna visit the former colonies.

Maybe he's looking for a place to retire. Colombians love Spain.

I wonder if he has one eye? A one eyed man is king in the land of the blind.

Colombian Chickens are crowing about the new President of the U.S. who will assure that From each according to their ability to each according to their need.
