I lived in Cali many years ago, married and raised a family, let when things got too dangerous to put up with. When I first lived there , the best quality beef was 7 pesos per kilo. Today? Ni para que decir! Back then, Cali was a very livable city of about 200,000. The Feria de Cali was the best in the nation. People worked long hours, but relaxed and enjoyed themselves on weekends. Life was sweet! I understand that all that has changed, and not for the better. I consider myself fortunate to have lived there when Cali was at its best! My two sons are now in their 50's. One just returned from a short visit to Cale, saw a few friends from back in the day, and came home disappointed with what Cali has become. He said he recognized nothing, that everything had changed. That's life, I guess...
