Glad we missed the Storm!

From what I hear Upper Michigan just had a big snow storm....So glad I'm here!!
Sorry to rub it in people...! : )

This morning I took a taxi into Old town & walked around enjoying the sights & sounds of Cartagena...locals selling fruit on the corners, people walking everywhere, locals selling their crafts of coconut shell jewelry & spoons etc. I took more picture's of the old buildings & flowering boxes hanging off the many balconys down the narrow streets. I then met Marie & Chris at the school where he is teaching...the 3rd grade class he is teaching are full of energy! Marie had a lot of fun helping today. We (Marie & I) are getting up early tomorrow & going back to Isla Baru but to a different area this time to go snorkeling. Isla Baru is very large w/ a lot to see even though it's pretty remote. Chris has school but we will see him at the end of the day....We catch the tour boat @ 7:30am...It looks bigger than the one we were on yesterday.... Apparently there is an abundance of tropical fish at the place we are going.....Food & drinks are included until we return @ 4:30pm or so.
Adios!
