Travel updates and interesting activities
27 July 2019 10:50 Well in about 40 minutes we’ll be on our way home! Our painter is back at it just outside our window. I’m all packed and ready to go, now it’s a waiting game. On the way here it’s a rush to do everything and make sure things are in order and …

26 July 2019 14:28 R.E.D. Friday (Remember Everyone Deployed)We have a taxi lined up for tomorrow’s trip to the airport with our favorite driver Aley. We both seem ready to head back to the United States but a little sad to be leaving Colombia. It has been a good trip overall, we have seen a …
We had a very pleasant final day here in Cartagena. We got up with no plans and had a slow morning. One of Bill’s travel books recommended a couple of restaurants so we tried one for lunch and were planning to try a second for supper. The lunch restaurant had a very fun atmosphere and …
Bill and I just got back from dinner at a tiny little restaurant we happened to come across. They were out of coconut lemonade, which was disappointing, but I had a fried fish fillet and Bill had something that tasted like a Mongolian meat dish with several different kinds of meats. The food was pretty …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
