Cartagena
The Old Town
 |
From the airport someone, apparently known to cops and others, driving an SUV but was not a real taxi, took me through this gate into the old city. Then he was lost, looking for the hostel. After we found it, while I was being distracted by the people at the front desk - no, not a scam by them, the taxi driver quickly brought my bag in and left with my change. It was just a few dollars worth, but I was nonetheless annoyed. |

 |
I only had given myself one night there, not realizing how lovely the place was, and had to do the best I could with that short time |
 |
I wanted to catch the evening light and so hustled out the door, turned left and found this |
 |
I was not the only one trying to catch some late evening town shots (I have no pony in this race) |
 |

 |
The local restaurants getting ready for the evening business (not me, I can't travel that way) |
 |
This would be more my speed and budget, but with so little time, I needed the flexibility of solitary footwork. |
 |
The evening turned briefly drizzly, then presented me with a very interesting sky |
