Cartagena

Friday night, just as Brad and I were settling into our hammocks, we received a phone call from Amber asking if we wanted to go to Cartagena. Sure. So we were off. Cartagena is BEAUTIFUL. Please, please come visit me so you can see this place in person.

Friday night we went out to dinner where we were seating amongst a wedding party and had delicious food. Afterwards we hit up a couple of salsa bars, but as I'm still plagued with stomach problems it was a short night for me, meaning I went back to the hotel around 1 am whereas Brad showed up at 4. The next day we had breakfast and scoped the town before heading to the greatest beach in the world. While we were there we got pedicures, massages and a personal performance from the three men pictured below. People walk around selling everything including beer and fresh crab. The woman in the picture above was selling really yummy candies from the basket on top of her head. When we took the picture she was saying, "Whiiskeey."

After sunset we went to a restaurant where the menu was a tray of fresh fish. We picked one with reddish looking skin and in a few minutes it was all cooked up and on our plate along with plantains, coconut rice and salad.
