loosening and lightening
no good updates today. been having a little too much fun in medellin exploring the city and gearing up and down. the spanish here is much easier to understand and i'm slowly starting to feel comfortable. fixed a downed computer at the hostel for a free night and some beer.
definitely leaving tomorrow towards manizales.
gearing down, i cut out almost everything that is not necessary: extra length from straps, labels, extra backpack pockets, plastic bags, flashlight (my cell phone has one), guide book (took 500 + pictures of all the pages), and two of my bicycle bags, probably 10 lbs in total.
gearing up, i got some new socks, lightweight pants, fishing hooks and line, headphones for the ipod, alcohol for the stove and, well. this. it serves a rather utilitarian purpose, but i think it's best to let your mind run wild.
