I’m not sure what it was - either I was depressed or the gloomy, cold, rainy weather of Bogota was making my soul shrivel a bit. Don’t get me wrong, Bogota is a pretty cool city with lots of things to do and see... if you can get past the whole weather thing. After spending… Continue reading Burned Out? Rained Out?

There is something about the air, the energy, and the… Continue reading Photo Essay: Cartagena, Colombia
***Please pardon the pictures as all were taken on an iPhone 3G. No good camera should be taken out during festivities like these.*** I had no clue that we were sailing into one of the biggest celebrations that Cartagena has seen in a long long time. Cartagena independence. We somehow accidentally scheduled our catamaran trip… Continue reading Crazy Cartagena Independence: Colombia
