Ciudad Vieja

I spent my last day in Cartagena wandering around the Old City. The buildings are all colorfully painted and bougainvillea hangs over the balconies. It's like taking a step back in time. The breeze made sitting on a cafe patio and people watching perfect. Mime and dance performers popped up here and there. It was wonderful to get a free show. Despite all the beauty, the best part of the day might have been that i actually made it out that night with Amy, Gil and Martin. We went to Café Havana right around the corner from our hotels. The itty bitty waitress could not get over the fact that Martin was 6'8 and catered to his every need. It was quite sweet. Amy kept the beat with her new little shakers sold by a lively guy making his way around the bars. The music was great and I had a blast. I should get out more often.
