22 July 2019 11:08 Yesterday’s post was limited as we were both super tired (we have towels for capes) when we got back last night. We neglected to mention eating at The Clock Pub once again, I should have ordered the coconut chicken instead of nachos, they were good but I liked the chicken better. …

Bill’s Scuba Post
21 July 2019 19:21 Got up and made an omelet to be well fed for our snorkeling adventure this morning. Turned out well. The pan has some dents and doesn’t always sit level but it works. Once we got to the dive shop the gal up sold us on something they call “Discover SCUBA”. It …
Scuba Experience
Bill and I started the day planning to go snorkeling. Scuba diving requires training, and I didn’t think we had time to fit that in on this trip. When we arrived at the dive shop, we learned that they had a crash course in scuba diving. Bill and I were excited about this because we …
Bill’s City Tour Post
20 July 2019 15:00This morning we went on a city tour with our taxi driver from yesterday morning, Aley. He is a super friendly guy and did a good job with the tour. It was long so he needs to work a stop for street food into his tours. He said that he has only …
City Tour
We had another really fun day! A few days ago, we met a very friendly taxi driver. He only speaks Spanish, but he gave us his number and told us he did city tours. He was willing to be patient with my imperfect Spanish so we took him up on his offer. He picked us …
Friday!
It’s Saturday! I was too exhausted to do an update last night and I’m just getting around to posting Bill’s update this morning. He did a really good job, so I’m just going to add a couple things to his post. After our dance class, I suggested to Bill that we could potentially be great …
Bill’s Salsa Post and More!
We are now entrenched in Colombia, day 6, 4 days of attempted brainwashing by Karen the polyglot. She has started thinking of ways to punish me when I translate what she says. Tomorrow may involve corporal punishment!! I suppose it’s fair as she has had to endure 12ish hours with me. I may be improving …
Salsa!
We had a really fun day! This morning we swam for a while at the beach. Then we spent some time studying Spanish, and Bill fixed ham sandwiches for lunch. Classes went really well. I’m learning a lot, and I love my class! I wish I had more time to spend in Spanish-speaking countries. After …
Mid-Week in Cartagena – Bill’s post
This is Bill’s post from yesterday. I spent all morning studying French in preparation for my conversation with Dominique then had three hours of Spanish. I was wiped out by the end of the day! I’ll have a post tonight or tomorrow morning after our salsa lessons. We made a run to the market this …
Bill’s Post
Bill got up before me and had a delicious omelet with toast, peanut butter and honey ready when I got up. Here is his post below! He wrote it yesterday evening, but I was too tired to post it last night. We went down to the beach for a couple hours this morning before lunch …
