July 20th Independence Day in Colombia

Pueblito Paisa visit and we were joined by many cyclists who pedaled up the large hill and enjoyed the view and snacks in this quaint area.  Several parts were closed on being modernized so a brief look around then off to Parque Baerrio - Barefoot Park.  This is quite the treatment for ones feet.  You start in the bamboo forest then walk on sand.  Next is the foot spa pool then one with jets to massage your feet.  It was packed with people and we were quite the spectacle!  Our feet were as light as air and got us ready to enjoy Antioquia Museum visit and the exhibition of Botero - the fat people!  Or as he says - voluptuous.  We also saw his rendition of the death of Pablo Estoban. In the evening a small group of us joined a local Fulbrighter for dinner and a walk around her town.  It was very pleasant and intriguing to find out how much Fulbright scholarships change the lives of people.  I know it has certainly opened up my life.
Enjoy the photos.
