Santa Elena

We offered to take Felix out to thank him for all he’s done for us, namely giving us time to live together, but also providing advice on which towns to visit, which restaurants to try etc. He chose a small restaurant in Santa Elena, the town in the mountains to the west of Medellin, whose local farmers create the flower displays for Medellin’s biggest festival. He drove us up, and stopped to take this picture of us on the way back down. There was a strange man standing nearby, and on closer inspection, he seemed to be mentally challenged. He was wet and cold and apparently lost. Sandra and Felix talked to him, and found out he was from Santa Elena, so we loaded him into the car and drove back up the hill to the police station. On seeing him, they said, ‘oh, you again.’ It seems he frequently goes wandering.
