Sacalero's That's What They Call Them
[QUOTE=SlapShot10;2402728]Yesterday, I went on a mission to check out Veracruz / Botero (again) and find Raudal. Well, I went on my moto, so that I could take a gander without being the idiot gringo on his phone, looking at JjBee62's directions. WOW. Cruising through ZombieLand is surreal. Just north of Raudal and east of there to El Hueco (north of Conejitas) is rough. Half-living species all whacked-out on shoe glue, paint, and whatever else they can afford.
Another free TLN. She's been on the rag for like 10 days. It just shows up while we're fucking. She said she had one of those injected contraceptives, and hadn't had a period in a year, so that's why it's a little off, right now. Thankfully, she literally just went to the doctor and got her papers. That being said, going BB with a PP and seeing sangre isn't exactly the best way to spend your morning. Though, she's cute, fun, and cleans my place up before she leaves.
Two nights left, and not quite sure what I want to do.
Cheers.[/QUOTE]You most definitely have been making the most of your time here in Medellin going from Zombieland to LLeras and than a free TLN yesterday and Isla the day before. I like the way you roll, lots of different variety and can only imagine if you had a Harley to cruise around on in ZombieLand.
As far as the "half living species" you noticed, well they typically use glue or what's called Pegamente here and it has a solvents in it, and they are referred to as "Sacaleros" as they put the glue in a bag and inhale the fumes. Approximately three years ago there used to be what's known as "Sacalero Row" on the walkway beside the Museum where all the working Sacalero girls would hang out like a bunch of Groupies. There were actually some pretty hot ones back then, but all typically skinny with a stench to them and most of the the time in a Zombie Trance, exactly as you described them.
Robbed At Gunpoint In Poblado- It's Not Safe Anywhere In Medellin
Saturday night at 7:30 PM I was with one of my regulars in Poblado. We were walking on the sidewalk along Carrea 46, about a block and a half away from the Poblado EXITO. We got caught in an unexpected downpour, and it was raining very hard as we were headed to Calle 10. While we were walking I had an umbrella to cover us and we had are heads down trying to figure out how not to step in the deeper puddles while we were walking. The street was deserted as there was nobody else out because of the heavy rainfall, and all of sudden a motorcycle pulls up with two guys on it, one guy gets off, put's a gun to my Chicas head, and say's give me your handbag or I will kill you. The guy takes the handbag, hops back on the Motorcycle, and they take off. This all happened in less than ten seconds and there wasn't much I could do about it. We were sitting ducks on a deserted street during a heavy downpour, and were unaware of our surroundings as we were walking with are heads down trying to figure out where to step. I was surprised that the thief didn't ask me to empty my pockets which I asked my Chica about, and she said for some reason women with bags seem to be targeted versus the men. I suspect that's because the thieves assume that a woman may not put up a fight, versus a man might. Regardless, if any one has a gun, I'm not going to put up a fight. So my Chica got her bag stolen, she had 40 Mil on her, a cheap cell phone, and some clothes in her bag, and her Cedula as well taken.
Lessons learned, if I had been asked to empty my pockets, I would of been totally hosed as I had my USA I phone with me, versus my Colombian burner phone. As far as money in my wallet, well a couple of hundred mil which means nothing to me versus losing my USA cell phone. So not only do we have to worry about the Chicas ripping us off, here's just something else to be concerned about. It's not safe anywhere in Medellin. Carry as little as possible with you, and always be aware of your surroundings, even when it's raining. There's some very cleaver thieves here, and they know what they are doing.
