We landed in Cartagena Spain today (not Columbia). Overland, Cartagena is about 600 miles from Barcelona..I don't know how many sea miles it is though, but I do know that we sailed all night long at a pretty good clip before arriving in Cartagena about noon. Our plan was to take the shuttle into town and then take a taxi around town...but we changed our mind quickly when we saw there was a very nice paseo to walk. The weather was wonderful, so walk we did.
I have no idea what this is...but it's big and pretty
A triangle building
The altar at the Iglesia de Peregrina
Man-hole cover
Motorhome by a Ferris wheel
Monument to the Californios
Santa Rita inside the church
Along the Paseo
We did not learn any history of Cartagena. We did not take the "Segway" walk/stroll around the town. We did not ask any questions. What we did was watch people enjoying the afternoon. We had helado (ice cream) and had a grand time. When we got tired, we walked back to the Viking shuttle bus and were whisked back to the ship.
There are several ships in town, from enormous to tiny (we were the tiny) and there were many folks along the paseo. With all that extra humanity in town, we don't know if we saw Americans, Europeans, Spaniards, or Martians. No matter, we were all doing the same thing...strolling down the paseo and having a grand time.

Beautiful
I put my garden in today. Who knew that a cubic yard of soil could weigh that much?! 🤣🤣 And I moved 22 of them today, but it’s going to be worth it. But all in all, I think I’d rather be with you. 🤣🤣
