We arrived in Medellin Colombia almost a month after we left Vancouver, we arrived on the 21. 
We got settled into our homestay, went to blink our Spanish school for the week and went for a walk around our neighbourhood with the oner of blink, Christian. On Saturday, we went to parque explora the science centre it was lots of fun we saw some very venomous snakes, some fish and did some science stuff. On Sunday, we went for a very interesting gondola ride. We started at the metro, took it to the gondola, and took the gondola over a little neighbourhood, it was beautiful. We got out at a place called Parque Arvi, we went for a walk around and tried some very interesting foods like a bright orange thing that I did not really like. We tried a marshmallow food that I loved. A lot of empanadas. And a coffee caramel pudding that I also enjoyed. 
The next day was our first day of school and we had a teacher named Olga. We just learned things you would have in a house. Our homework was fun but hard. We drew our dream house on a piece of paper, then at school we made mini people and played in the houses with them but the hole thing had to be in Spanish. On Wednesday we learned new things and we went over the things we had done in the last couple days. The next day we learned how to say different jobs and did another little game. On Friday we made dresses out of paper. 
We went for a weekend trip to Guatape and I loved that it was super fun we went for a lot of walks, climbed a huge rock with 659 stairs and went to com fama the water park on a lake.
We were only going to stay in Medellin for a week but we loved it so we stayed for two weeks!!!
