4 Mar 2018 (Medellin, Colombia): A friend of a friend, Johan (on the left), took us on a roadtrip out to Rio Negro (~1hr) along with his fiancee (Marcela on the right) and their two friends for a proper Bandeja Paisa meal. They are such gracious hosts, and here we are digesting at a dessert […]
Day 57
3 Mar 2018 (Medellin, Colombia): I took a break from computer-y things (mostly reading about the implementation details of the new bitcoin lightning network) all day to join Leah for a beer at one of our many local watering holes (she went out and saw Ladybird). We caught another Atlético Nacional game (this one was […]
