Cartegena, Columbia

First Sighting of the City

Didn't dream that we would love this city.  Coffee...emeralds...drug cartels, that's all we knew.  The old walled city is lovely. They are preserving the Spanish architecture and buildings.  We sailed in just after lunch yesterday and left just after lunch today.  Two tours gave us a good flavor of the historical areas and the life in the city.

The Spanish Inquisition was alive and well in Columbia.  Saw the torture tools.

Art in a public square. Can you believe she's called "The Fat Lady?"
