All is Bright – December 2018

In addition to experiencing the Christmas lights at Parque Norte, we made it our mission to see as many outdoor holiday light displays as possible in other places in or near Medellin. It was a fun and festive adventure during our time in Colombia!
Envigado (a Medellin suburb)
Lights shine over a main street Nativity scene in Parque Principal Bethlehem star shines over Parque Principal Iglesia de Santa Gerturdis in the background
Sabaneta (a Medellin suburb)
Iglesia de Santa Ana One of many lighted areas in Parque Sabaneta Continuation of natural resources theme for 2018 Medellin lights Overhead lights on pedestrian walkway
Premier Parque de Laureles (a park near our apartment)
Yes, strawberries are ripe in December in Medellin. Many moons ago . . .
Carrera 70 (a main street near our apartment)
Getting ready to install street decorations Raising Christmas lights Lighted fiberglass light poles Yes, the light poles change colors! And now the pole is red! Lighted flowers and butterflies to celebrate Colombia’s natural resources
Jardin (a town four hours southwest of Medellin)
Jardin’s light crew went to great lengths to spread Christmas joy. Snowflake hover in the warm night air Basilica Menor de la Inmaculada Concepcion presides over the main square
So pretty!!
