Cartagena

Cartagena, never thought Id visit here, it has been low on my must see places 

but it slowly moved up when we were in the process of adopting from Colombia. Since the French government turned us down for adoption and we were 

going to be in Florida this year we decided to visit the country we were 

so focused on for 4 years. 

   

arriving

We stayed at the Sofitel which is a converted convent, it is in the center of the walled city, super location. We pretty much lounged around the pool area 

until it cooled down then went for a walk in the town

Breakfast served in several places, even at 9am it was already too hot

They offered a coffee making class, how could I not

beautiful arches and terracotta walls 

Michael has been wanting to get his scuba certificate and 

they offered classes at the hotel.

the old city is a colonial beauty 

fresh aloe juice

such a huge variety of fruits, I tried all of them

how they spelled my name
