Pro tip:
When one of the Venezuelan street vendors near your home asks why you look so tired, don't tell them you just walked over 28 km across town - unless you're ready for them to casually remind you that they walked 20 days from Venezuela to Medellín, day and night with children, while finishing shoe repair for someone in a nearby building.
🙃 Just say you're fine.
Because we're here and that's enough.
Here's some #Music from when I passed through Parque de Berrío:

And, of course, I have photos.
Easier just to share the album link - but there's lots of #Graffiti here, as well some nature shots, snaps of the hustle and bustle of life in Centro, cemetery shots and Boteros.
Closer to the north, I stopped taking photos, because that enters far less touristy "barrios populares" & I have a standing rule about not taking photos of people living in poverty, or treating their homes as such.
But feel free to ask if you have any questions!

I do want to call attention to the pigeon in this one, though. When I saw the murals, I came up to snap them, but the pigeon was just staring at the wall, and only turned its head a bit on my approach. I don't *really* think it understood the imagery on the mural, but the idea of a pigeon contemplating animal kin in far-off spaces was ridiculously endearing to me all the same.
