Cute headline in today's paper:

"Tourism at high risk? 59 [foreigners] dead in Medellín in 3 years"

I follow online forums to keep an eye on what gringos say about Colombia, and what happens to them here.

It's always the same story: Fellow thinks a local woman is clearly interested in him because his bad or non-existent Spanish is just that charming, and ends up dead from an altercation during robbery or overdose from a knockout drug.

Travel carefully. Stay street-smart.
Death is always sad.
