Tell your friends - Cartagena is awesome.

This is the first post of many from Cartagena. The city is amazing. It has three parts a new part that is like Miami Beach, a very old part that is unbelievably scenic - imagine a real "Pirates of the Caribbean" set, and a working city part.

This picture is from our room at the Hilton, which is at the end of the "Miami Beach - like" pennisula.

On Tuesday, we spent the afternoon lounging poolside. The water in the pools was probably 92 degrees (and that is unheated). Only Caroline could stand it for very long. However, the food and drinks were great.
