Cartagena Shots

Loads of pictures from our trip to Cartagena!!!  It's a beautiful city ... absolutely gorgeous, BUT, boy, was it hot!  We were "lucky" that a breeze was constantly blowing, otherwise, we would have melted, especially Mati and Santi.  What we were not lucky in is that March seems to be mosquito month and we were quite a sumptuous banquet for these pesky insects!   ENJOY!

Catedral de Cartagena, where all the famous people get married.

El Palacio de la Inquisicion


Mati was fascinated by all the torture devices! 

Beautiful building to be tortured in! In fact, it's one of the most beautiful colonial buildings in all of Cartagena ... ironic!!

Nico had enough of me so he took me to the French choice of torture: the guillotine! 

Nice view to get one's head cut off! ;)

SURPRISE!!!  Mati agrees to carry this animal (EL PEREZOSO) with extremely long claws!

Nico told Mati about Jesus on the cross ... Mati became obsessed with the whole concept and asked (again and again) why "they" had put him on the cross.  Every time we went in to a church we had to find Jesus on the cross.

Monasterio de la Popa

Castillo de San Felipe

"That's my flag!"

In the dungeons ... became Mati's fascination #2 in this trip!

Center of Cartagena

At the Plaza de la Aduana

A happy tourist!  Even though he spent most of the day in the stroller, Santi was very good throughout the trip.

Portal de los Dulces in the Plaza de Coches

The sweets ... yummmmm!
