Airport sleeping, Medellín, bypassing hundreds at immigration 1/5

One night you enjoy a lovely hotel w a pool, the next you sleep in the airport, literally, on the floor. We landed in Medellín at 1 and were done. We had to exit through the baggage claim and there was nowhere to sit, and construction workers were drilling something in the building. We gave up and laid down on the cold marble floor. We slept for a couple hours, then at 4 moved to some seats that became available. It was so loud and a TV was blaring the same music over and over. We eventually crashed and we got up at 6, late enough to go into the city. 

We found the bus and paid $20 pesos for an hour ride up and over the steep mountain, down into the valley of Medellín. We guessed where we wanted to go figuring we'd walk around. It was raining but luckily not too hard. We headed for the part of town that seemed to have the most restaurants. We walked a bit and only found crappy vendors selling empanadas. Normally that's fine, I'm tired and want a real breakfast. Just when we were about to settle, we looked left and we found a great place to sit outside and have a real breakfast! I had the local typical food of arepas chocolo which are sweet corn paddies w mozzarella in the middle plus some eggs and bacon. Andy went w the hash browns. It was good and just what we needed. 

It was done raining and muggy, we are in the jungle after all. We strolled around trying to walk off all the food we just ate and not fall asleep. Andy helped a guy who crashed on his scooter, only damage done to his bike. It was hard. We were unsuccessful finding much else and we didn't care at this point so we walked back to the bus stop after mango slushies to cool us down. Back on the bus and up and up the valley we climbed. Medellín is huge, a lot nicer than I expected, and you can see the sprawling city all over the valley. Pretty cool views. We easily got through security. Not that it's ever hard. At least they kinda scanned our bags here. The lady in San Andrés was doing her nails and didn't even look up. That's OK, nothing has ever happened on a Colombian flight right?

An easy flight to Miami. We bypassed about 500 people for immigration because we have Global Entry. Best $100 ever spent. Flight is at 9:30, we land at 1am w high hopes that Tom doesn't fall asleep.
Closing thoughts: I'm pretty sure we have Zika, I'm not going to eat red meat for a while, Patagonia is still in the top 3 of places I love, I haven't brushed my hair since we left, we smell, it's weird flushing TP down the toilet again, Andy has an unknown rash, gotta hit up the mountains in Colombia next time, I prefer cold over hot, I can't believe I have to work tomorrow, I'm not sure why poor countries can have wifi everywhere and Silicon Valley can't, although I'm upset w my country I still love it and I'm always glad to be home.
