My friends and I took a ride around Cali to enjoy the lovely nighttime city views. The farthest we drove was to a mountain lookout about 12 miles from my apartment. You needn't travel far (or at all) to have a spectacular time in Cali, Colombia.
To get to Cali from Asheville, North Carolina, I flew over 2,300 miles! The farthest I have traveled while here was to another department (sort of like a state) called Buenaventura, which is about 75 miles away from my apartment. It was about a three-hour bus ride. In total, I have traveled over 2,500 miles.
This week, I mainly used a group chat my neighborhood has to carpool to the university. People will send messages like, "spots to arrive at the university at 10:00 a.m." or "spots to leave school at 5:00 p.m." It's super convenient. I also made my first friend with a car (finally!) and that was when we took the scenic drive around the city. I used a bus system called the recreativo for the first time as well. The recreativo system is made up of different little buses that go around the city and, no matter where you're going, it's only about 2,000 COP, which is less than $1 USD.
