Oscar left early for interviews at the medical school. I was planning to go to the Museo Antioquia with mother Alicia, her sister Gloria, Luis Antonio and Gilbert. At the museum (we drove there) the main exhibit was of the Colombian artist Botero. He specialized in oversized subjects with interesting details such as flies buzzing around or volcanoes erupting in the background.
Also little pieces such as bullets in the air in "Death of Pablo Escobar" or droplets of blood "Sufrimiento del Cristo".
The big subjects ususally had smaller other features, like small breasts or small feet. Also the Colombian flag was either there in a small way or the colors looked like the flag colors.
After we went to the Jardin Botanico and had lunch at a place In Situ. It was an awesome spot. Excellent. People were there it looked like they came there from work, not tourists.
The gardens were pretty but it was pretty crowded with school kids. Pretty orchids we saw. Also this cool plant called La Lincona which is kind of like a bird of paradise. We also saw 2 iguanas high in a tree.
The fruits and flowers of Colombia were awesome. Beautiful and tasty things that I've never seen. Very unusual. They were for sale on the sides of the road or wheeled around in big carts. So plentiful. I wish I could remember all the names.
