Meanwhile, I heated a hot griddle pan on the stovetop. I sprayed the pan with my Misto olive oil sprayer. If you don’t have one of these I highly recommend investing in one.

Luckily, our tour bus did take us to a few cool sights where we were able to get out and walk around, which we might have otherwise missed.

If I am remembering correctly, our tour guide said these pools are meant for socializing, sort of like in ancient Roman times!
It was sort of like a spa, and we had a nice time wiggling our toes around in the jets.

Next, our bus took us to “Pueblito Paisa,” a replica of what little towns taiwan lists looked like when Medellin was first colonized. The little town is located on the top of Nutibarra Hill, which offers beautiful views of the city.

After that, our tour bus dropped us off at the Botero Plaza where we enjoyed taking a look at the famous statues from Botero, the famous Colombian artist. The plaza itself was beautiful!

The statues from Botero were definitely interesting, as he had a unique perspective on the human body.
