Yesterday we arrived in Cartagena Columbia – beautiful Caribbean vibe should come to mind. It is a bustling city which we will embrace later today. For the last 2 days we chose to relax at a beach resort – catch up on some rest & reconnect as a family as Jack just joined us after finishing his first semester as a Junior st Colorado Mesa University.
The surrounding area is tropical green & beautiful. Flowers, trees, shrubs & birds everywhere. Pelicans & terns are fishing in waters st the beach. The people who work here are beautiful inside & out!
Meals& food provide interesting choices. Fabulous fresh fruits/yum! Interesting Colombian food- honestly we do not know all – and food we do know is prepared in interesting ways. Many foods are fried- many more prepared like a stew. Rice & grains are ever present. I ordered an appetizer for dinner on my first night & had mango tempura- OMG – it was fabulous. And honestly, I have never er thought this could be dinner.it was accompanied by wonderful steamed vegetables.
We are heading into the UNESCO site in the city today….here comes the hustle & bustle!
