camminando | Cartagena de Indias, day 1: Ciudad Amurallada


After an extremely stressful week for finalizing the divorce, Zoe and I spent a few days in Cartagena de Indias (10°24′N 75°30′W), the magical tropical city, founded by the Spanish in 1533, in the Northern coast of Colombia, by the Caribbean sea.
       Our first meanderings took us from the Hotel Caribe in Bocagrande to the Ciudad Amurallada (Walled City), by a two-mile walk with the sun setting setting in the ocean.
