Medellin Produces much of the Flowers in the country another big economy its colt and Emeralds . also its in the area where the Coffee country is , but if you want to visit a coffee plantation you may have to plan a Tour by yourself . it cost me about $200 USD plus another $50 for food and the tour guide the $200 was for our driver to wait for us and To drive the 3 hours south and come back we spent about 8 hours in this tour and it was worth every single penny .we drove to Jardin a Town up in the mountain where most of the Organic Coffee its . then I meet this farmer who its famous in the area Don Jaime his family its very important in the area a town of population around 15,000 this Farmer his dad had 12 Brother and sisters and he had 16 Brothers and sisters so I guess most people are related to Don Jaime in this town . and he was very kind to walk me by a few small farms , and then they invited me to a Lunch done by a Local Lady , she made the Bandeja Paisa and it was the best dish I had in Colombia. so I recommend to travel out of the city center .
*I got to say that most of the sexy men that I seen in the world are in Medellin .
*Gay men are Ultra conservative in Medellin and even worst in Bogota .they are so conservative that I saw many in Suit and Tie in the clubs .
*the weather in Medellin its very warm and not as cold like in Bogota .

Plaza Botero , esta plaza en el centro de Bogota tiene 23 estatuas donadas por el artista fernando Botero el cual es Original de Medellin es muy interesante pero camine con cuidado pues hay muchos deambulantes , como hay tanta gente desidi tomar un Taxi en la calle de atrás de la plaza y ningún taxi quería para , por fin el decimo Taxi paro y cuando me monte me fine que todas eran mujeres con faldas muy cortas y mucho maquillaje para las 7 am lol así que tomen taxi en la plaza aunque tengan que esperar mas .
Pueblito Paisa es bien pequeño paro bueno para visitar en el centro de la ciudad con una vista muy buena de medellin desde el centro de este cerro . tienes varias tiendas de artesanías .
*El Clima es Cálido no tan frio como en Bogota si necesitaran un abrigo.
*en los banos no tienen tapa el inodoro , ni papel de bano asi que recomiendo que anden con un bulto con papel de bano y con agua monedas para pager banos que aveces no tienen cambio .
* Los Hoteles tienen propio sistema de transportación y pueden arreglar alguna excursión , ya que no hay muchas companias de excursiones , yo alquile el chofer por $200 por 7 horas de las cuales guío casi 2 horas y media de ir y 3 horas de regreso solo una hora y 40 minutos de un tour que organizamos en 5 minutos , visitamos el poblado de Jardin población 15,000 el Campesino Don Jaime que por su Familia conos e a todos en el pueblo su padre tenia como 12 hermanos y hermanas , y el tiene 16 Hermanos , ósea puedo pensar que la mitad del pueblo son familia , este esta acareo de todos , los campesinos , y nos llevo a ver y recoger cafe en varias fincas pequeñas , luego almorzar en la casa de una senora que nos huso la comida por solo $5 y fue mejor que ningún restaurante que como en colonia , ni el restaurante de $240 no se compara a esta senora en su humilde casa y la comida hecha con todo lo que cultivan .
* la moneda cambia en esta semana estubo de 1,800 a 1,900 por cada Dolar USD .
el taxi del aeropuerto al poblado donde estaba mi hotel fue 75,000 pesos o unos $40 .
*Los Hombres mas sexi que e visto en Buen tiempo están en Medellin deseguro , pero son muy conservadores , pero nada como en Bogota que son tan conservadores que hasta en Gaban y Corbata van a las discotecas lol .
