Hi Phil, Thanks for your interest in meet-ups. I found them important when I travelled to other countries.
My husband and I were all revved up about Medellin as a possible full time retirement destination or just a winter retreat....been reading a lot of blogs on living in Medellin and thru Google Maps walked thru various streets and, well, now we are getting cold feet. We just saw too many electrified wires and metal fences and barricades surrounding what looked like middle or upper middle class homes in Poblado and Leureles.....I also read that Columbia's government and FARC are now meeting in Cuba to organize a cease fire and well, I think you know where I am headed. So, any advice?
