My Trip to Medellin

Two ago summer I went to Medellín with my family and Susanas family, We stayed some time in the farm of Susanas grandfather in Rionegro. We had lots of fun.
One day we went riding horse in the countryside. My horse was David, and he was vey friendly. Later we went to Medellin. Finally we came to Cartagena by airplane.
In the farm they gave us a rabbit for each one. Mine was called Becas Pecas and he was white with black dots. I liked to hold him in my hands. We also played soccer and walked around the farm. One day we went to a small town nearby and climbed in a big rock called El Peñol. It had a very long stairway to climb up. The view from the top was very pretty as can be seen in the picture.
We went to a park called Tutukan which had many thigs to do. One of them was an airplane that made you feel as if you were flying. There was also a small train and boats to go around a small lake. In the lake there were many ducks. But what I liked most was a small town where you could play in every building.
Thre was even a policeman a he was a bit crazy. He took us to the town government house.
In Medellin we went to a big shopping center which had many games. We also went riding in the Metro as well as in the Cable cars that go around the mountains. It was great! We took a lot of pictures. When we got down we went to a museum which had many paintings by Fernando Botero. I did not like those pictures because the people are to fat.
I really liked Medellin and Rionegro. The climate is very nice, not very hot. I would like to go back sometime. But I dont want to go to the museum again. Perhaps it would be nice to ride horse many times. Also to go eat beans which they like very much in Medellin.
