Hola,
We are here safe & sound in Cartagena....I am sitting on Chris's balcony/apt across from the ocean listening to the hussle & bustle of the street below. Marie is cleaning up the lotion that crushed in her bag...The temp. feels around 85 degrees @8am. The salty air is feeling nice. We are on the edge of a poor neighborhood in the grittier part of the city....it is really cool. Last night we visited Old Town which is very touristy (or where the wealthier locals hang) but well preserved for 500 years old. We sat on the Fortress Wall where there is a cafe/bar, the dj was playing loud Techno/Salsa type music which sounded really nice too...The skyline looked so beautiful at dusk. We then walked around Old town, between the awesome structures to a park & grabbed a bite. The food here isn't spicy as you would think....we ate Crepes w/ beer. Today Marie & I are having a tour of the city w/ a local woman, then we can venture out & know where to revisit. The pics I post now will be my own...Adios! Amy

About Me

- North Americano vacationer looking forward to temporarily getting out of snow country. I am planning on taking a lot of photographs in the old city of Cartagena. I also hope to set up a showing of them upon my return perhaps in one of the coffee shops in town. I am looking forward to the clubs in Cartagena because I have been learning Salsa which is really fun!
