Before the Metrocable was built, it took two hours to get from these sections of Medellin down to resources for jobs and education. Now, it takes less than 20 minutes, improving the lives of those living in the barrio.

This Metrocable station is cantilevered out over the Medellin River.

I go to Parque Berrio to view some of Botero's famous sculptures, but have to wait under the subway overpass until the rain lets up. Good vantage point to admire the Palacio de la Cultura Raphael Uribe Uribe, the back and white building in the park.

It almost seems as if Botero's bronze voluptuous women are basking in the rain.

Most of these sculptures were done during the 1970's and 80's.

"In art, as long as you have ideas and think, you are bound to deform nature. Art is deformation." So says Fernando Botero.

Although most of his sculptures were of women, he did do a few men. Legend says people rub the shiny parts for luck. ;-)

He did a few basic animals as well, this one "Perro."

This woman seemed PO'd at first that I had taken her photograph, but after she shoved her beautiful young daughter, Juliana (pronounced YOU-lehana,) in front of me to practice English for 20 minutes, she gave me a rose!
