Cartagena de Indias

Some recent fotos for everyone. The first four are from Maracaibo in Venezuela, while the rest are from Colombia. Paz y amor mi gente, estamos hablando!

Beard + Aviators = Too cool for school.



Old fishing boat near El Lago de Maracaibo.



Bell tower near the north end of Maracaibo.



This church was also close by.



Coloumbian fisherman setting out in morning near Cartagena.



Snorkling near the Islas del Rosario.



The water was ridiculously clear, tons of great coral and fishies.



Playa Blanca, one of the best beaches around.



Hit up some salsa dancing one night with a crew from Argentina.



El Castillo San Felipe



View from one of the guard towers.



One of the old entrances to the top section of the castle.



Looking north from San Felipe into the old city.



La Iglesia San Pedro Claver in the old section of Cartagena.



This is how the tiered houses look in the city.



Another shot of a house near the Plaza Bolivar.

Sounds like you are living the dream. Hope its as much fun as you make it sound! Come back safe.. . . .A word of advice....maybe you should bulk up the wallet to carry a bit more than $13 CAnadian...you might be worth a bit more second time around!
Drop me a line and let me know how everything is going!
