I visted Cali in November 2001 for two weeks two adopt my son who was 7 weeks old at the time. It was one of the most memorable times of my life, and partly because Cali was a city where people we encounteed went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and to protect us in a time when the city wasn’t very generally seen as a safe place. I feel a lot of love for Cali and Caleños.
