These are the first of our photos from Cartagena. This is a great city and very cruiser friendly. It is looking like a great place to have work done on the boat and in general take advantage of good quality local services. There will be more to come.

Walking into Centro, the walled city or the "old town."

Interesting Pegasus sculptures on the way to Centro.

Typical flora for this climate.

Every alley and side street invites you to explore.

We both enjoy the variety of local tropical fruits.

The cowboys enter the arena.

Ole!
