Thumbs up Re: Travel Channel - Medellin, Colombia

Thanks Gary,

It will be interesting to see what foods are featured. I'll also look forward to seeing more of Medellin. Too bad Cali and Bogota don't have mass transit trains like I believe Medellin does.

My wife thinks he really should have visited Cali instead. She's very proud of not only her country, but also her city.

OK, I stand corrected. I watched it only last night.

Here's a You Tube clip from the Cartagena part of the trip.

Here's photos of the Medellin part.

Bourdain spent a lot of time checking out the variety of local Colombian foods and dishes.

Enjoy!

I really dig Anthony Bourdain! He has the life, travelling eating and drinking!!!

I go the impression he was really blown away by the food and the people! They did a great job with the show! One of his best! He showed both cartegena and medellin in a great light! The food was great, I never knew I was eating ass though until last night,

Thanks for that bourdain!
