Joe and I recently accompanied a Belmont University alumni group on a cultural trip to Colombia. We visited Bogota and Cartagena, which were really interesting places. To be sure, the Colombian culture is very different from the United States. It truly felt another world away. Here are some glimpses. . .
San Felipe be Barajas Castle in Cartagena
View of the city of Cartagena from San Felipe
It was about 112 degrees in Cartagena that day, and we were sweating buckets as we walked the city! But what fascinating history and culture. And the food was delicious! A bit harder to eat #Keto in that culture but I managed fairly well. : )
I love pretty doors! Here are some pics that reflect that adoration. . .
Colombians really love their geckos!
Views of the streets in Cartagena. Aren’t the flowers gorgeous!
One of the places we stayed had a toucan named Tato. He was gorgeous! And spent most of his day sitting around the bar and chattering. ; )
While I was there, I was on deadline so I spent a fair amount of time in my room writing. But what a place to write!
What’s a place you’ve visited that represents a culture vastly different from your own? Did you enjoy it?
Blessings on your Tuesday!
