Cartagena

I love this sign: We don't have Wi-Fi. Talk among yourselves. 

It is incredibly hot here. It's hard to believe the weather is so bad back home. After walking around the old city all morning, we were craving fruit for lunch. For about $6 we got this big bowl to share.

The colorful buildings here remind me of Valparaiso in Chile.

We have met people from all over here. Today a couple from New Zealand and Norway, putting life on hold and driving from Mexico to Argentina. I impressed the Norwegian by telling her I was related to the queen, but then she reminded me that most people in Norway are distantly related. We learned that yesterday a cruise ship dumped 5,000 people on this town, so no wonder things were a little corded yesterday.

The good news is I have been drinking coffee in a country where it is a part of life with no ill effects. Let's hope that continues for another couple of weeks.

Tomorrow we are spending the day on the Rosario Islands, hopefully not with thousands of others from the cruise ships.
