Medellin and Cartagena: June 2017

Planning a wedding wasn't gonna hold me back! The annual friendcation must go on! Colombia was a great wedding budget friendly compromise. We lived like kings and queens for next to nothing and I learned that my spanish is beyond low tier. One of the most meaningful aspects of the trip was visiting an area that used to be plagued with violence and crime that was transformed through the influence of hip-hop called Comuna 13. It was so rewarding to see how the black culture made such a positive and transformative impact. In the states we are conditioned to believe the exact opposite.
