Cartagena + Medellin + Bogota | 2016 - Present
"The rain had stopped but the city was still swollen from the saturation. I walked the narrow streets of La Candelaria, passing painted houses, kioskos and tiendas selling magnets, Colombian flags and mini Botero sculptures of rounded women. Bogota did not exactly welcome me with open arms, but she wasn't unfriendly. And she wasn't unforgiving. The rain cleared that afternoon and the sun warmed the air a few degrees before setting into oblivion. My first sunset in South America in just shy of a year. It felt good to be home."
