Panama Cruise - part 2

After a day at sea, our next two stops were in Columbia. First we visited the city of Cartagena. This was our favorite stop. Cartagena is a beautiful city. We reserved a cab for the day and he took us on a tour of the city and showed us the big historical spots. First we went to look at the wall that was built around the city to keep out pirates. Here we are both under and on top of the wall.

We also visited a emerald shop/museum. We saw some amazing emeralds. Tommy even bought me a ring and some earrings.

After a delicious lunch that included amazing coconut limeade, we took a walk through the beautiful streets of the old city. I loved it. Everything was so OLD!

Tommy found a bakery that sold yummy, warm treats. Everyone enjoyed them!

Here is an old castle in the city. We didn't spend the money to take the tour, but it was pretty amazing from the outside.

Santa Marta was our second stop in Columbia. We didn't get many pictures in this port. However, we took a cab and found a really great beach. Melissa and I get massages on the beach and Tommy and Trent bought snorkeling gear. Santa Marta was very hot and very arid, but the ocean was beautiful!
