Cartagena

We took the 9:00 flight out if Quito to Bogota and then a one hour flight to Cartagena. Arrived around three to the old town part of the city. This place is gorgeous. No graffiti, no store grates, beautifully colored buildings with charm around every corner. I could explore these tiny street alleys and small boutiques for weeks. We took a city bus tour and got to see the more modern area as well. At night there are  groups for performers that travel from plaza to plaza through out the night entertaining. We are here until Monday. It should be fun to spend Mardi Gras weekend here.
Tomorrow will take a boat out to one of the islands for a day at the beach. The weather is quite warm but the ocean breeze helps to cool things down........."hey Boston, enjoy your storm.
