Thank goodness for air conditioning!!!


We are in Cartagena, Colombia. It is a VERY HOT AND HUMID city!  We have gone to the Old City and it is very cool. Today we rented a 6-person bike and it had a safari cover for shade and 4 wheels. It was really fun. However, Mackenzie got her foot stuck in the pedal! It looked like it hurt! It was kinda slow too. I bet that you could walk normally and keep pace with it.  The traditional food here is very good. Not as good as Asian food, but good. It is basically beans, rice, ceviche, and some different kinds of tortillas.

The Spanish established Cartagena in 1533.  The construction of the Old City wall was completed in the year 1631.

The next place that we are visiting in Colombia is the Coffee Triangle located in the mountains. We are going to take a coffee tour and ride horses. It is only 3 and a half weeks until we fly to the United States from Guayaquil, Ecuador. I am really excited!
