The Traveling Life: A Day at Parque Arby

As I stepped out of my RV park accommodation in Medellin, Colombia, I was greeted by the serene beauty of Parque Arby. The name "Parque" is pronounced as "par-kee," with a slight emphasis on the "v" sound, similar to how bees pronounce their names. This was not a park famous for its roast beef, but rather a tranquil oasis nestled 15-20 minutes outside the bustling city of Medellin.

I took advantage of the opportunity to explore this peaceful retreat using the cable cars that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The scenery is a stark contrast to the noise and chaos of Medellin's city life, with its lush greenery, chirping birds, and gentle rustling of leaves in the wind. This was my chance to unwind and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

As I wandered through Parque Arby, I stumbled upon an exhibit that left me taken aback – a severed head displayed inside a bird cage with a message scrawled on it: "Free your mind." The artist behind this gruesome yet thought-provoking display had clearly intended to convey a deeper meaning than just shock value. While some might see it as morbid, I appreciated the artistic intention and the bold statement.

The surrounding area is replete with quirky statues that add to Parque Arby's eccentric charm. One particularly striking figure caught my attention – a muscular man adorned in party attire, exuding an aura of debauchery. It was clear he had spent too many nights on the town, but his rugged good looks more than made up for it.

As I continued to explore Parque Arby, I couldn't help but notice that one of my camera's biggest drawbacks is its inability to be used in public without drawing unwanted attention. This reality forced me to adopt a "don't flex" policy when it comes to showcasing valuables like my Rolex or other prized possessions. The popular Colombian phrase "no papaya" – meaning don't flash your valuables – served as a timely reminder of the importance of discretion.

My curiosity led me up a nearby tower, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. I soon discovered a charming garden hidden away in the midst of the forest, complete with an assortment of plants and animals that were both fascinating and intimidating. As I gazed upon a massive frog perched on a leaf, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at its sheer size.

However, my admiration for these creatures was short-lived, as I soon found myself face-to-face with not one, but two tarantulas – both seemingly unaware of the danger they posed. Their presence sent me scurrying for cover, and I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. It seemed that even in Parque Arby, nature had a way of humbling its visitors.

The tarantula's camouflage abilities left me feeling embarrassed about my own lack of stealth skills. If not for the presence of another beetle and spider, I'm confident that I would have become their next meal. Thankfully, our unlikely truce allowed us to part ways amicably.

As much as I wanted to linger in Parque Arby's serene atmosphere, I eventually had to bid farewell to this enchanting oasis. The memories of my time here will undoubtedly stay with me, and I hope that future travelers will have the opportunity to experience its tranquility firsthand. For now, I'll carry a piece of Colombia's natural beauty and artistic flair with me as I embark on my next adventure.

As for where to go next, the travel bug has bitten me once again – it seems that my journey is far from over. With so many incredible destinations still waiting to be explored, I'm excited to see where life takes me next.

rains pretty often here in Medellin I'm sure guatape is not too different since it's so close a dry Kyle is a happy Kyle I don't like water I don't like being in bodies of water I'll make exceptions here and there but for the most part when it comes to water I'm like a cat all right I've made it to the Rendezvous point for my group tour today there's quite a lot of people here I think they're going to split it up into like multiple groups so we're kind of just waiting for everyone to show up and then we'll get to it and probably gonna hop on that bus I think it's a Colombian bus Columbus for a second I thought that said Escobar and I was very concerned all right that was a much longer bus ride than I initially told you guys I said 30 minutes it was more like two hours but we made it we're at the rock of fatope or there's a lot of rocks in Bay but this is the rock this is the rock star of them all we've got just shy of 750 steps it's that staircase you see right there takes about 15 to 20 minutes to climb the whole thing I'm going way up to the tippy top hope I don't pass out oh guys I'm uh I'm pretty wiped out let's see let's see how far up we are oh we still have a we still have a long way to go there are quite a few Gringos here today uh Gringo doesn't have the same type of negative connotation here in Columbia as a dozen states here it simply means tourist and there are a lot of them on this Rock today including me step 650. we're almost there unless that's just how many people died in that spot from exhaustion okay we made it to the top definitely a quick little workout but overall things are looking good the view is absolutely breathtaking 100 worth 20 000 pesos it costs to make this climb so look at that that is amazing although if I do have one suggestion for El pignon this rock doesn't have Wi-Fi safe to say that I have worked up a sweat so I'm going to cool down with the mango michelada Colombia highly recommend all right I've pretty much explored the view from every angle she looks good from all angles folks no catfishing here let's make our way down foreign we are having lunch now at this nice local restaurant I got the chicken dish I hear they treat the the livestock very well here I've been told that this chicken used to have an iPhone but I'm gonna eat it now now we're getting on a boat there's another tour group same boat as ours

that definitely looks very nasty wow just just step on your wife why don't you we'll lead into it check on them later what do we got in here oh snackies snackies and drinkies this is a super popular liquor here in Columbia I have never had this before uh that's right I think it comes from a niece because it's supposed to taste like black licorice black licorice smell but I'm not a huge fan of black licorice personally never have been but I am going to try this because we're in Colombia and when you're in Colombia you do as the Colombians do foreign oh wow that's remarkably smooth it has a very subtle it smells stronger than it tastes the bat it's quite good me goose I'm in Camuto 13 right now once the most violent and dangerous part of Medellin since then it's been transformed into a bustling neighborhood full of art graffiti street performers and an overall celebration of life quite the transformation in this relatively poor Community you will also find a freaking escalator it goes up 17 floors and apparently it has Wi-Fi there's a lot of the families around here don't have the money or the means to actually have internet in their homes so the government's really gone the extra mile to make this place a bit more accommodating for the people who live here probably one of the better views I've seen on this trip so far what the pay was definitely up there this comes in a close second I can see my house from here at the end of our kimono 13 tour we're allowed to spray paint on these walls whatever we want that is art that is pure art genius absolutely genius it's

beautiful cool the bird speaks Spanish here stumbled across a nice little garden here in the middle of the forest I don't know what most of these things are manzania lavanda I think that's lavender I'm pretty sure I think that's Dragon frogs does that mean there's frogs here oh my God look at how huge that frog is oh my God have you guys ever seen anything like it I think he's scared of me he's completely Frozen whoa whoa whoa whoa look at that that's like a big ass fly dragging a dead spider not a spider is that a beetle a beetle eating a tarantula oh wait the tarantula's alive holy I don't like being this close to either of these things right now guys I hate to I hate to bug you but um I gotta get through there's only one path forward and you guys are kind of in the way so if you could just like take your fight to the death two feet to the left that would be great okay it looks like they're are they are they calling it quits I think there's been a truce that's good but they're still in my way okay guys if you don't mind I'm just gonna sneak past real quick run run run run run run run run run run run run what I didn't like about that was that the the the spider was very well camouflaged if the beetle wasn't there I would have that's that spider would have eaten me I changed my mind about parquet get me the out of here all right guys my trip to Colombia has come to a Bitter End I'm so sad to be leaving this place it's such an amazing City I would highly recommend Medellin if you ever get a chance to visit the city is beautiful the food is delicious and the people
