Someday I would love to go to the Medellín Poetry Festival. I would also go to any big library in the city!

I’d really like to go here because it’s where my dad lived and worked on various hatos or ranches. I’d like to go to the big parks and do some birdwatching. and i also love llanera music and so would hope to go to a music festival of some kind…

Beach – mopeds – mountains – very beautiful.

I had the most awesome time in Paleochora (Paleoxora?) at a tiny hotel right on the beach.

A beautiful town!

Lots of stairs so don’t go if stairs are difficult because access… hahahaa there’s no way.

I was there in 1988 or so for the Yeats International Poetry School.

Well, my in-laws live here, and it’s okay, very pretty, next to the beautiful beach, but it’s too far from the city and a little boring!

A nice little neighborhood with sidewalks, walking distance to downtown Redwood City and the train, and in the “flat part of town”. It is mixed apartments (near Jefferson and El Camino) and houses (increasing in property value as you move further towards the hills and further from apartments/El Camino). Since the dot com boom it’s been gentrifying rapidly. There are a lot of small churches. It is about half and half white/latino population with a small % of Tongan/South Pacific residents and a Tongan church. The schools are Sequoia High, MIT middle school, John Gill, North Star. The dividing lines for this neighborhood are El Camino, Jefferson, Whipple, and maybe Alameda de las Pulgas. North of Whipple and west of Alameda, houses are fancier. South of Jefferson the neighborhood becomes denser, there are more duplexes and apartments; it’s still super nice but is definitely somewhat less wealthy of a neighborhood.
