We are staying in Cartagena, a small fortified city on the sea. We lost a battle here and apparently Sir Francis Drake tried to attack 3 times! It was a centre for the slave trade.
People here love a good chat and are prepared to share life and faith. Last time we came here there were very few tourists from outside Colombia and I found the Spanish here so hard to understand; now people know to speak more slowly and although there are still few non Spanish speakers it seems a very popular place to come.
Early in the morning the fishermen come in to a waiting crowd of pelicans, ibises and herons.
The heat here is quite intense having come from Bogotá so we have spent a lot of time near water!
That looks like and interesting place to be, I love small fishing harbours, small colourful fishing boats. Hope you are having a really good family time, Ruthx
