Colombians have an extraordinarily festive spirit, and they love light displays. The Christmas lights in Cartagena are the most beautiful I’ve seen, and walking around the city enjoying them is a special part of this visit!
I met another interesting local yesterday – Felipe Castaneda – who has written several books on Cartagena. He seems to know the history of every building in the walled city, including houses owned by celebrities like Marlon Brando.
Later today I head for the Rosario Islands – with lots of sunblock!
What a visual treat of the Christmas lights! Glad your trip is going so well!
