Goodbye Cartagena de Indias
A week ago, on Tuesday I arrived to Cartagena. It shocked me with it’s tropical heat and I lay knocked out on the bed for a few hours trying to adapt. I was close to leaving it the next day, but slowly it’s charm won me over and I was actually beginning to consider staying…

Dusk (my favorite part of the day) and some pics of catching the lightning. All taken on the Wall in Cartagena, Bolivar, Colombia Dusk is the most beautiful part of the day, when things calm down, people walk more slowly, the air feels cooler and everything becomes more mysterious and beautiful.
