Medellín

Went to an Atlético Nacional match in Medellín. Absolute carnage. Can safely say I’ve never been to a game before and not known the score at full-time. Concede, score, poor decision, red card - doesn’t matter, crowd antics remain the same throughout. The name marching powder seemed more apt than ever…

Communa 13 we were roped into dancing with street performers in front of a crowd. Gave Shakira a run for her money. Also played footie against the local kids in the cage. Things got a little feisty. Got pumped by those wily 14 year olds. For the record, I’m not used to those sorts of conditions.

Finally, Pablo Escobar tour. A lot of the Narcos series myths debunked & reminded that for many Colombians the man is seen as a terrorist. Netflix also failed to show that he was 26 and Tata 15 when they married.
