Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Orgasmico;2576740]Everything is negotiable. Success depends on you. No one can tell you how successful you will be.[/QUOTE]I would add, there is a ton of good advice here, but one of the most valuable pieces of life advice I got many years ago, from a person I barely met in passing was when she told me, "Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do it". You determine your course, not others. When someone tells you it can't be done, they are really projecting themselves into the situation and saying, "I haven't done it, and I don't know how to do it". That doesn't mean it necessarily has to stop you or that you won't succeed.

Heck, I have been told at every major turning point of my life here in Medellin by family, advisors, and naysayers, "Stop, don't do it, turn back, you're crazy, it won't work, you're in danger. " Could it all still blow up on me? Perhaps, but the likelihood appears to be less and less as time goes by, relationships solidify, patterns are formed, trust is built. You can't be ridiculous about it. And you have to know yourself. No matter what my future holds, I have no regrets, and the epithet on my headstone will read, "If I Die Tomorrow, I Die A Happy Man. "

This is hilarious and serindipitous, I Googled "epithet" on line for the spelling (had it right), and this was the example given, "Old men are often unfairly awarded the epithet "dirty".

[QUOTE=TravelDog99;2576739]I am planning my first trip to Medellin in September or October. I have stayed in Costa Rica before at the Sportsman's Lodge and am looking for a similar experience. Low key, kind of quiet, food and beverages available in or nearby, safe and secure and enough girls to choose from to have some variety and keeping it interesting. Even some girls around if you feel the urge mid-day. I am not interested in the late night nightclub scene, pursuing and finding the ultimate 20 year old cover model, wandering the streets at night, negotiating the lowest ultimate price, or getting on a dating app. I speak little or no Spanish. Any suggestions for a similar experience? I've heard mention of Mansion?[/QUOTE]You heard right, all you really need.

Beyond that I suggest you RTF.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2576749]How do you offend a sex worker by talking about sex? It is like offending the cashier at McDonald's by asking for cheese on your burger.[/QUOTE]But yeah, this dude is going to want to lose some inhibition. I am all for spontaneity in sex and goin' with the flow but in general the more specific you can be with a prepago, especially a new one, the happier all parties concerned will be.

Welp, looks like I have COVID. I had a domicilio come over on a Sunday, yes, you read that right. It took about an hour to find a company doing testing on Sunday, or even Monday on a Festivo, for that matter.

+57 314 643 7513 in WhatsApp // 150 k for the antigen test // immediate results then emailed in less than 24 hours.

I have extremely mild symptoms. I woke up a couple mornings with a dry throat / mouth and some congestion. I noticed a shortness of breath on my 20 minute walk up the hill to Tesoro Smart Fit, and decided to get tested. I have a couple buddies arriving mid-week, and Pinky is set to go home at the same time to see her family. My energy level is a bit low, and I have some congestion. That's about it.

I was notified on Saturday that a gringo I went out with the past Saturday had two nights of chills and night sweats, and got a positive test result. I told him I was fine, and couldn't be sure about my mild symptoms because of partying for a couple nights. Anyway, we had gone out to eat then to a club with Pinky and her friend. The girls have no symptoms. I've had a couple 3somes and none of the girls have any symptoms.

If I contracted it last Saturday, I'm 9 days in. I had "symptoms" maybe starting Friday, without realizing it. Any experts here hahahahahahaha ok ok, any experts that actually know what the fuck they're talking about? My buddies arrive Wednesday. If I wake up symptom-free, tomorrow, and get a negative test tomorrow night or Wednesday morning, am I ok to host one of them and go out? I don't want to be that asshole that goes out with COVID. I also don't want to have my buddy stranded at a hotel or AirBnB with no guide and no Spanish, but it is what it is. Should I get a second test, or just be conservative and isolate?

The guy who tested positive told me zinc, Vitamin the, hydrate, eat protein, Tylenol. Any other tricks?

I have had 25 hangovers worse than my current symptoms, in this calendar year.

I, and many others, will probably regret this post! Apologies in advance! I just feel like the first page of Google results might be as misleading as what's to follow, here, and this will certainly be more entertaining.

[QUOTE=SlapShot10;2576843]Welp, looks like I have COVID. [/QUOTE]Will you need to have the result of a negative antigent test before you fly anywhere out of the country and how long will that take?

Yes, security is more complicated in a single unit dwelling. Home invasion is more of a risk for example. You can mitigate the risk with cameras and other security systems of the type that are very common in Medellin apartment buildings. Many of the rules in apartment buildings are for security purposes.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2576201]The only downside to a house versus an apartment is the added level of security for properties with Porteros. Nobody will be getting into the building that doesn't belong there, so for guys that can deal with the rules it makes sense.

As an example, I have a friend who bought an apartment in a small building in Laureles, with no security, and know he wishes he hadn't as he is reluctant to bring Chicas over, albeit a few, in fear someone might try to rob him.[/QUOTE]

First post, but been following the Forum for a while!

Just wanted to pitch in my two cents regarding Sugar Daddy Sugar Baby relationships.

I was raised in Costa Rica, but with a foreign background, and live here permanently. I'm in my mid forties, divorced, not bad looking and work out a lot and generally take care of myself.

I have always loved the P4 P scene and have enjoyed in many countries for quite a few years now. I'm planning to go to Medellin probably closer to the end of the year, but have already started doing my homework on the forum.

I've had two successful SB-SD relationships, a good one of just a couple of months and the other around 7 months, which was truly excellent. I would like to share my experience of the later.

Costa Rica is a small country and everybody knows each other. This isn't good for an open P4P scene, and I take care that I'm not seen enjoying this delightful hobby as I'm know as quite a respected person (little does everybody know!

I looked into SB relationships more to have a beautiful girl on call to go to the movies, out to dinner or to the beach, have a good time, but then have good fuck afterwards. After a little learning process with the first girl, I met a 24-year-old girl who was in college (I knew her Mom quite well). They were in a little financial hardship and she maybe couldn't attend college anymore. She was smart, sweet, educated and beautiful (9 in my opinion, true girlfriend material if that is what I wanted), with low mileage (non-puta background). I told her I could help her out financially so she could carry on in college and she asked immediately what I wanted from her. I told her in a very polite manner what I expected, she gave it a little thought and agreed.

We then went out to lunch, went over the details, I wrote up an agreement which I sent her and she agreed to via email (lessons learnt from the first time! I agreed to pay her $1,000 a month, sort of what she would have made if she would have dropped college to get a job. On my side, she would be "on call" and go out with me for meals, spend the night, go to parties, to the beach, or if I just wanted a quick fuck. In the agreement I would respect her college timetable, she needed to get a STD test before hand and basically made it clear that I was paying for her to leave when I wanted (lessons learned from first experience). I included a two week trial period, to see if she was good in the sack as well.

I would actually present her to people as my Novia and could take her to a party with friends, or a business lunch without any trouble then take her back to my place and fuck her brains out and send her home or let her stay based on my mood. If she was with PMS or something I would tell her that I had no intention of seeing her. This would remind her of our agreement and she actually said something one day, and I told her that I wasn't looking for the complications of a formal novia relationship. I called the shots. I would generally see her at least twice a week.

Had some really good fuck sessions with her. We once went to the beach for a week and got her into anal, which she hadn't done before. During the literally down times, I enjoyed her company and had some very good conversations with her as well.

After about six months, she was starting her final semester in college (which was going to be a lot of work for her), the novelty had worn off for me, we had gotten into a little routine (COVID struck), so I paid for the last semester, gave her a little extra and finalized our agreement. She invited me out a couple of months ago, once she had graduated and got a regular job to thank me for all the help, told me that she wouldn't have been able to do it without my help (and gave me a nice fuck afterwards for old times sake! We both agreed that we had a win-win relationship.

After a lot of thinking, in my agreement with her (but I think it depends on the girl), I put that if I fucked somebody else, it would be with a condom. I didn't add anything on her side, which could easily mean that she could fuck anybody without condom or not be able to fuck out of the agreement. If she fucked somebody on the side, I wouldn't care, but didn't want the agreement to explicitly allow it.

I'm now on the look out for another diamond like this one, but these things take time to find, but I'm in no rush.

That is my definition of a Sugar Daddy Sugar Baby relationship, not sending money overseas. This world has a lot to offer and different people enjoy it in different ways. I would never send a girl in MDE a new Iphone or money knowing that I'm not going to see her in six months, but if that is what makes others happy they can splurge their money in any way they want. Some might not agree with my arrangement, but I enjoyed it very much and think it was money well spent.

[QUOTE=MaddTraveler;2576792]So w / the 22 year old brunette from lleras, we agreed on 200 k after she asked for 250. We spent maybe 30 minutes together, talking, bought her a beer, danced very briefly. We stood both inside and outside of a bar next to Gusto..

So after she got in the room, I put some music, then she took off one side of her dress then asked for the money upfront. This is something I never do, and will never do unless I'm in a professional establishment like a brothel or strip club. So I explained politely that you know damn well I can pay you, let's do business and you'll get paid, hard no from her, and hard no from me. Immediately I said well get the fuck out. She called police...[/QUOTE]Same thing happened to me one time a coupla years ago w a chica from Gusto. Never been back there since. I don't get good vibes from dressed up bitches. I prefer the humble types.

I'm sorry about the diagnosis and I wish you a speedy recovery Slapshot. Were you vaccinated?

[QUOTE=SlapShot10;2576843]Welp, looks like I have COVID...[/QUOTE]Well think positively. At least you earned it! .

I think a huge proportion of the general population have already had COVID in Colombia, especially those that work in close contact w others, so that is probably why the girls have no symptoms. .

I had similar symptoms in Colombia a couple of times over the past year. Am also pretty sure I had it too though I never bothered to get tested.

You could maybe tell your buddy of your circumstances and see what he says. Not everyone is scared of contracting the virus. Even if he is concerned, has he been vaxd?

[QUOTE=SlapShot10;2576843] If I wake up symptom-free, tomorrow, and get a negative test tomorrow night or Wednesday morning, am I ok to host one of them and go out?[/QUOTE]You need to get a PCR test. I think they should be able to tell you whether you are infectious or not based on the CT value. Good luck!

I just spent 3 nights at Hotel Nutibara. It is the first time I have stayed in El Centro although I have spent plenty of time before walking the streets during the day and visiting the casas.

I really enjoyed the vibe en Centro. In some ways it looks like a European city, but with the chaos of a busy Asian city. People are for the most part very friendly and "real", there is a lot of energy about the place. Bit of a freak show though. Many crazy looking people about.

Lots of bars to drink, girls on most corners, in the bars and in all the short term hotel doorways. Plenty of casas and chica-bars. Personally, I found better choices in the casas, and there isn't that much difference in price between casas and street workers.

I stayed at Hotel Nutibara. Again a decent choice. Reasonable price, if dated rooms. Nice staff, no worries with bringing girls.

I felt perfectly safe in the day time. So many people about. The sun sets quickly and the place empties fast though, but at least there are plenty of bars within a couple of blocks of the hotel.

My main concern was food. It is absolutely dreadful. No choices apart from fast food Colombian style which I would never eat. There are a couple of places nearby within walking distance but they are lunch-only places, plus not open on Sundays or festivos. So the next time I will book for midweek. .

Overall, definitely an experience that I would repeat. Centro of Santa Marta is still my preferred choice because at least I can least well there.

[QUOTE=MaddTraveler;2576792]Trip Summary Update June 27-July 4th: SA, Casas, centro, Lleras, street pickup, group hang out, heartbreak, betrayal, gay parade, police called.

SA / NON-PROS.

Enjoying my trip so far, and this is rather a summary instead of a day by day breakdown. After the first day on my previous report with the late SA chica drama that I had to cancel, apologies came in order from both sides and we re-arranged a meet. She's 25, maybe 7. 5/8, personality 10. We've met 2 times so far, full GFE, BBBJ / BBFS, all good, for an evening till next morning damage 200 k. Then I met with one of my 10's twice also, dinner date + overnight, 20 years, 10 all around college student, Full GFE, first date w condom cost $0, second date BBFS, damage 200 k. I have one more 10 that made contact also, we have a date set for this week. No longer an active member but were the few I kept in roster and had build a relationship with. I've also made the effort to approach couple non pros in the streets while walking around, and one cute morena waitress. We are in discussion and setting some dates, they want to take me out to some parks, one is a sweet couple so a possible threesome is in order, all free.

Daily chicas: Averaging 2-3 daily.

Centro chicas:

Met a buddy from my flight and another from the hotel, we stroll through Centro quite a few times, drink beers and talk to chicas. I haven't use their short time hotels but invited few so far to mine (Nutibara) and 50 k each round. Best time for Centro is afternoon between 3-7 PM, entire wall of Veracruz church and past it to the main intersection is crazy with chicas. If you stand around and walk around a little by the bars and in that area, you should be able to see many within your taste, many 6-8 range or even better rarely. White / Blacks, Colombianas but mostly Venezolanas, young, old, some could be underage I don't know. At times I would ask a super young looking one their age they always say 18/19 with IDs. But still be careful. Some will ask 50 k incl hotel, some ask for 30/35 k + hotel which is about 15 k so it's the same thing. Last night I walked around past 9 pm, there were kids playing in plaza botero, no cops but didn't feel any danger. Walkd through busy intersection and saw a hottie who's at least a solid 8, took number but went to parque lleras to see what was going on there.

Casa runs:

Buddy came nearly daily to my hotel via Uber, then walkd together to New Life, if nothing's appealing we'd walk to Amiga de Sexy couple blocks away. Zandaly is also within a shorter walking distance, and we've also visited Energy. Energy had a short line up and we were told they do outcalls now so most of the hot girls were not there, kinna was disappointed.

New Life: You pay after you finish, 55 k for 30 min.

Amiga sexy: Pay upfront: 50 k for 30 min.

Zandaly (has best line up, Andrea's my fav and solid 8) 50 k /30 min, 85 k / HR.

Energy: Massage incl, 140 k / HR.

Strip Clubs:

I didn't visit La Isla / Face 2 yet, but did some runs on those rundown centro strip clubs like Conejitas (banged for 100 k, maybe a 7). Buddy banged one at Hilton Grill, 72 k, solid 8, I banged two from Barra Ejecutiva, all walking distance, solid 8, 80 k, then she came to my hotel again for same pricing and spent more time. There are still several clubs I wish to visit, just so little time. During each club visit, Centro, Llera, I always end up adding 5 hot chica numbers on my phone, and definitely not enough time to bang them all.

Parque Lleras:

I visit Lleras every other night, my first encounter upon arrival of my trip was from there on my first report. Parque lleras is what it is, some here will swear it's the best place on the planet and it's not. Gusto's quality has gone down, last night cost to enter was 20 k, me and buddy walked right out. I did get a couple numbers from a previous visit that I may do biz with. Met several chicas there and saw several from Centro. This happens when you stay close to Centro and walk around a lot, you become familiar with the faces especially if you've exchanged numbers with them. I mean many of them. If I didn't know many times I'd pay the 150 k /250 k they're asking in lleras, but hard for me to justify when I can get them in Centro for 30. The ones not from centro I've had good and bad experience with. Good experience mean I paid 150 k, GFE, no drama, muy carinosa, all went well. Then last night, met this brunette from Col, 22, at first she appeared sweet and interesting, but there were red flags which I fully ignored, and I will write why I missed those since there were some major distractions in the park last night.

Police called. Night of 7/4th, 2: AM.

So w / the 22 year old brunette from lleras, we agreed on 200 k after she asked for 250. We spent maybe 30 minutes together, talking, bought her a beer, danced very briefly. We stood both inside and outside of a bar next to Gusto, and entire time she kept on saying she's really good in sex, she really want some, and kept on insisting on going. She was also giving me those quick kisses on the lips, trying to seduce me. Now mind you, I am no expert but I am no newbie either. My spidey senses are normally intact, and the usual me would reject her in a heartbeat. Girls like that always offer bad service, always a major disappointment, plus she smokes weed. We took a cab to the hotel, she was talking shit about oh why do you stay downtown and not Poblado? It's ugly here, blah blah, more redflags (she lives in Poblado and dresses fancy). All things I shouldn't ignore but I did, again you will see why soon I wasn't on my game.

So after she got in the room, I put some music, then she took off one side of her dress then asked for the money upfront. This is something I never do, and will never do unless I'm in a professional establishment like a brothel or strip club. So I explained politely that you know damn well I can pay you, let's do business and you'll get paid, hard no from her, and hard no from me. Immediately I said well get the fuck out. She called police, or wanted 150 k for her time LOL. I'm not going to do that either and offered 50 k and she declined. Police came w / in 10 minutes with hotel clerk. There were two of them, both started listening to my side of the story first, then one who was aggressive walked away to listen to her side, not sure what she said he immediately came in my face and said you pay her, or handcuff, said that in Spanish. Thankfully I speak a little, nearly fluent, I was able to defend myself and explained she's been in my room for 5 minutes, and in the club for 30 minutes talking only and people normally don't pay for that. Then the aggressive fucker said this is Colombia. I had to reiterate that normally it's not the way things go in Colombia. Talking to someone for few minutes doesn't warrant payment.

This is the big difference with Dominican Rep, Costa Rica and Colombia. In DR and CR you get more protection as a tourist then in Colombia. In Colombia the only thing they love is your money, but you get no protection, and in fact it is a dangerous country if you don't know how to move. No one cares in Col. In DR, If I mention police the chica would run. Here I almost got locked up for me getting robbed.

I believe it was her intention in the first place, to tease, then run away with some free cash. This has been attempted before and happened once to me Mde, and prev chica left with taxi money, but never had one with audacity to actually call the police. She was arrogant, very loud and very vulgar. Her name is ROSA, long dark hair, has braces, almost petite, would rate her maybe a 7, lives in Poblado. So if you run into her, beware. I've seen guys made chicas send everything negotiated in their whatsapp, and I at times thought those were excessive, but now I'm thinking about doing the same, including mentioning in writing if you'll pay upfront or after. The thing is, this will happen 1 out of 10 or 1 out of 20 times. So it is rare, but when it does happen your entire vacation could be ruined. I notice this is also why many vets have a set of trusted chicas in their roster, and repeat with only with those and I don't blame them. My previous trips I didn't do that, and now learning from wiser vets and doing the same. Making of list and saving all good chicas, and when I return to simply go through the list that way no unexpected malicious behaviors, then can still do casa runs and club runs since those are in a business settings and won't rob you.

So one of the cop who was decent, agreed with me and understood my position, suggested that I just pay her half. So I paid her 100 k and she left cursing out loud, I replied and wished her happiness for stealing $28.

Why her, gay parade in Parque Lleras.

The entire city had a major parade all day, July 4th, and today is a holiday, many businesses are closed etc. So at first I thought it was some simple street parties, started around the centro area which I accidently took part of walking from one of my casas. Took some vids, shots, rested in hotel then a quick stroll through the plaza and then Lleras. While in Lleras, I was shocked the celebrations arrived at the park. AND found out it was mainly a gay parade. I am not homophobic, no issues with gays. But I was disturbed that they chose parque Lleras. I mean there were hundreds, music, stages, dances, dudes in dresses and skirts twerking all over the place. Many hit of me, and I'd be offended if they didn't since I look good LOL. So I arrived there like 9:20 p and parties lasted till 1-2 AM but the park / club stayed open till 4 a just like weekend being a pre-holiday.

Myself and many other mongers were talking and joking about the many dudes holding hands, drag queens, trans, and we were concerned about taking one home accidently as a joke. But still was a sight to see, dudes dancing and grinding on each other in the bar I was at. So this is why I wasn't focused and wasn't on my best game to detect this chica's bullshit. Otherwise this wouldn't happen to me. It was still an entertaining night, just didn't get laid and spent 240 k total for the night LOL. 100 k for her time and 140 k in street beer / taxi. Not my best night, but still could've been worse by me going to jail because I almost grabbed the ***** to throw her out of my hotel room when she didn't want to leave. Thankfully I wasn't drunk and thought hard on things. I won't let these few bad apples change my overall opinion on women in Colombia. Because most are genuinely kind and worth being with, pros or not. This is no different than the states where a hooker would arrive, asked for money upfront to pay taxi, walk out and never come back. You can't call the police since it's illegal and this happens many many times when you pay the wrong ***** upfront. This is one of cons or the price we pay for pleasure.

Heartbreak / betrayal.

This title "Heartbreak" is rather for entertainment. The buddy I met from the plane and many others I've already hangd with will immediately tell you one thing for sure about me, that I'm a hardcore MF, insensitive and ruthless at times. I use logic above all emotions, but overall try to play fair.

So in this story, met a solid 8 initially in Centro while few buddies and I were hanging out. She's 27, has a younger sister who's even hotter, from Venezuela. It's possible some of you have met them. I met those two again, including a whole posse also while at Parque Lleras at nights, numbers already exchanged since the centro meet. Then this past Thurs morning she contacted me to see if I wantd to take her after she saw me both in Centro then Lleras prev day, I offerd 100 k for an HR, she counter with 250 k min, then I advised her hey I met you frist at Centro, and we all know the going rate and that's what I'll pay, so she counted again with 120/ HR, and two hours 240 k. I took the 2 hours option incl taxi since she was coming directly from home (lives in Poblado). Came and spent 3 hours, very friendly, great session, two rounds, 240 k. She was very relaxed, didn't even want to leave, and we only left the room since buddy was on his way to grab lunch together. So I invited her, we all ate lunch together, chilled, laughed, then she proposed to take me out to Guatape on Sat, would spend the night both Fri and Sat at no charge although I had plan to compensate her properly. When she was in the room, we did talk about a lot things, family, etc. She was ok to become friends, and we had a good vibe. I almost forgot I was dealing with a WG. Oh well. This is the friendly part of me. When I meet someone who opens up, I open up also and share a bit and allow them in my circle.
.[/QUOTE]Colombia has some of the most dishonest putas on the planet.

I always tell them I pay after you make me orgasm.

So this putas says OK, and I ignored some red flags.

Like she had some tats on her arms, so I take her to a st room and she wants the money NOW I tell no way sand he walks out and.

Starts screaming to the guy at the desk in espanol, we were in the room less than 1 min.

Never took shoes off or even sat on the bed, I go to the desk and ask for my money for the room and he chuckles like I'm insane.

She's standing at the door with a big smirk, wow she got me LOL they get to split the room fee LOL.

I've never seen another country on the planet where this happens, but I did just hear some horror stories from a guy I know in Sousa, so I guess they have competition.

I always defend them when men treat them like trash on here, and this is what I get.

Karma is a beech bro jajajjajajajaaaa.

Any experts here hahahahahahaha ok ok, any experts that actually know what the fuck they're talking about? My buddies arrive Wednesday. If I wake up symptom-free, tomorrow, and get a negative test tomorrow night or Wednesday morning, am I ok to host one of them and go out? I don't want to be that asshole that goes out with COVID. I also don't want to have my buddy stranded at a hotel or AirBnB with no guide and no Spanish, but it is what it is. Should I get a second test, or just be conservative and isolate?

The guy who tested positive told me zinc, Vitamin the, hydrate, eat protein, Tylenol. Any other tricks?

I have had 25 hangovers worse than my current symptoms, in this calendar year.

I, and many others, will probably regret this post! Apologies in advance! I just feel like the first page of Google results might be as misleading as what's to follow, here, and this will certainly be more entertaining.[/QUOTE]I guess I'm the most recent expert on the subject since I just got a certificate of recovery today.

Assuming your positive test was not a false positive, then you are likely to test positive for several weeks. You can get tested again to confirm, but you can't really use the test to determine when you're no longer contagious.

My rough calculation goes like this:

Add 5 days to the day when you were likely exposed. That should also be when you start showing symptoms. Any time after that, you are probably going to test positive, probable minimum 5 weeks, and you're probably contagious. However, 10-14 days after you start showing symptoms you should no longer be contagious. So, between 2 weeks and 19 days, after exposure should be the end of your contagious period.

My own experience went roughly like this. About June 7 I was most likely exposed. Around June 10 I had some congestion, nothing serious. June 12 I had some serious issues. I assumed (incorrectly) it was just exhaustion, since the doctors couldn't find any reason for my collapse. I wasn't tested and seemed much better after 2 days of rest.

June 15 I decided to take my trip, since I was feeling better and hadn't considered Covid as a possibility, since I was vaccinated in March. By June 17 shortness of breath was starting to be a problem, but I passed it off as the result of having to climb 5 flights of stairs to get to the apartment. Spent time with some girls I know, sightseeing and hanging out from June 18-23.

On June 25 I got tested for my return flight, positive. By that time, because my symptoms had continued to worsen, I had began to consider the possibility of Covid. Went into quarantine in my hotel. Symptoms continued to worsen until the night of June 30, when I felt bad enough to call an ambulance. After being checked out by a doctor in my hotel, he determined I didn't need further medical care. By Thursday July 1 my symptoms began to fade. Since then, I'm almost symptom free, except for an occasional cough. Today I managed to get out and walk over 6 miles in Bogota, although I needed to take a lot of breaks and the effort wiped me out.

Approximately 5 days after the last time she saw me, one of the girls came down with symptoms. She was the one who was closest with me and spent the most time with me. She's been isolating and other than a cough has had mild symptoms.

Whether or not to go out with your buddies is up to you. If you wear a mask in the cab, keep reasonable distance as much as possible, it's unlikely you'll infect them. At least that's my opinion.
