Yesterday, we called our taxi driver and went to an aviary about 45 minutes outside of Cartagena. It was a really neat place, and we have a bunch of bird pictures for anyone who’s interested. I spent three hours talking in Spanish to our taxi driver then another three hours in class. By the end …

We walked the Wall!
Bill has a very long post with lots of information about our day, so I’ll keep this one shorter and add pictures. It rained here this morning with very strong wind. I like to watch storms come in. The rain and clouds cooled things down a bit. The rain must have brought fish to the …
Tuesday with Bill
23 July 2019 15:46 Based on time stamp, I am not in class. I sent the school and email this morning about the issue yesterday and so far all I have gotten back was a automatic response that they got my email. I’m not sure if they will say something to Emily at class or …
Getsemani!
After our exciting scuba excursion yesterday, Bill and I decided to camp out in the apartment this morning rather than do an activity. We were going to swim, but the pool was closed for maintenance. I had difficult homework anyway, so it was just as well that we didn’t go out. We had some problems …
Lunes with Bill!
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 …
