Cartagena, Colombia

Cartagena has a tremendously diverse population. On our tour we went to La Boquilla, drank coconut juice out of a real coconut, and watched a traditional fisherman throw nets. Next we had lunch at 9am empanadas and fried egg and listened to a music by a Vallennato band. We visited a museum of the history of Colombian emeralds. Then mom and I wandered (got completely lost) through the Old City. At Ridge end of the tour we had to walk through an echo Park full of parrots, peacocks, and even saw a capuchin monkey.

This was all before noon…we will sail to Panama next.Read more
