Supposedly Medellin, Colombia is listed as one of the five places in the world that you must see lights. Their display not only costs quite a hefty chunk of change but creates jobs AND they sell the lights to other countries to supplement their yearly changing display. The Christmas lights in Medellin are just fantastic.
I have never seen such an ambitious set of lights in my life. It makes the Trail of Lights in Austin (that has been cancelled for years now) look like a joke!
Families are out until the lights close at 1am and street food vendors line up with goodies like sour mango with salt, pepper, and lime, meat on a stick, candied apples… OH GOD. *drool*
Kids playing in the colored fountains.
Weird creepy guy dancing for hours.Does YOUR CIA building have a Christmas fountain show? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Some of Shaun’s favs.
Our “family” Christmas picture.
This installation is MASSIVE. As big as a building. The picture gives it no justice… AND a working clock!
This gamer actually heads outside every now and then. Shaun enjoys "short" walks on the beach (pasty skin), helping build large art projects (is a member of the Austin Design and Fabrication Team for the regional burn community), board sports, and anything X-TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME!
