Enjoying Cartagena/ Disfrutando Cartagena

Beautiful Cartagena, with lots of heat and history. Here we are on the old wall that was used to protect the city.

Cartagena es una ciudad hermosa, con mucha historia y calor. Aqui estamos en las murallas que se usaban para proteger la ciudad.

Marcos' schedule was literally turned upside down, and his siestas were taken on the bus rides through the city that usually took an hour.

Todos los horarios de Marcos se pusieron patas arribas y tomo sus siestas cada vez que nos subiamos a un bus.

Enjoying arepas with cheese (sort of like a corn pancake) with his grandpa.

Ah, nothing beats spending some time in the Caribbean. Marcos loved the beach and only took a few mouthfuls of salt water.

No hay nada mejor que disfrutar del Mar Caribe. Marcos estuvo fascinado con la playa y solo tomo unos pocos tragos de agua salada.

Lunch was served on the beach, and the fish, coconut rice and plantain were delicious.

Here are the plates of food served to our beach front stand...a whole fish with big bones!

Marcos got to meet some of his many relatives in Cartagena, and they served us a wonderful meal.

Marcos pudo conocer parte de la familia materna en Cartagena, donde disfrutamos de un delicioso mote de queso.
