Daniela's days in Medellín

Today, Wednesday 7 October

1. 7:05amMango tasted like the sea
2. 11:10amTram bench too warm under bare legs

On her mind: Sister booking hostels instead of coming alone

Tuesday 6 October

1. 7:10amRemembered last weekend's waves every time she tasted mango
2. 6:25pmRooftop salsa class ran late, sticky floor made everyone laugh
3. 9:50pmPlaylist too slow for her mood so she walked home early
4. 11:05pmBalcony still warm from the day's heat, not ready to sleep

Monday 5 October

1. 7:10amMango and lime on the balcony, already warm
2. 9:45amPlaylist too loud while cleaning sneakers
3. 2:20pmTram delayed by construction, sweat everywhere
4. 7:30pmSmall studio floor, new couple kept stepping on toes
5. 10:40pmQuick call with sister, she’s coming to cartagena next month

Sunday 4 October

1. 7:15amMango with lime tasted sweeter than usual on the balcony
2. 1:40pmReggaeton playlist got too loud and the neighbor laughed with me
3. 4:10pmTried a new step on the empty studio floor and slipped
4. 7:55pmSalsa class ran long, the small floor made everyone dizzy
5. 10:30pmBoat ticket booked for next cartagena weekend, finally settled
