Cartagena, Columbia
I am actually writing this on Friday October 16th. Close enough! We had a great tour on the party bus yesterday. But, before I get to that, I have to tell you something that Barbara has been doing almost the whole trip. I think that she really wants to be a race car driver. Every time we get off an elevator, Barbara turns to her left. It doesn't make a difference where we are going (most times it's to the right) she goes to the left. Just like race car drivers turn left, turn left. In addition, the ship is very sanitary conscious,every time you go into the buffet there's someone there to spray alcohol on your hands singing washee, washee.The ship has alcohol dispensers every where including in the elevators. Also when you come back on board the ship you get washeed washeed Any way,back to the party bus. We get on this olden bus with no sides on the right. We have to climb into the bus using a step ladder or the foot holes in the side of the bus. The first thing the tour guide does is pass out a bottle of rum, a bottle of coke and a bucket of ice for each row. Each row seats 4 people. Guess what's in the row behind us. You got it, a mariachi band. Of course if a bottle is empty all you have to do is pass it forward and another one comes your way. They also had beer and water if you wished to partake. We drove around the city, stopping at various forts. I think we were the eldest couple on board. We had a wild time. Of course there was time for shopping. I have more pictures and videos, but they will have to wait until I get home. The on board wifi system won't let me post them. Enjoy the pictures.

Rum and coke, the first round. We are next to a lovely couple, Linda and Les Cass from Ocala, Fl.

Locals selling their wares, selling their wares and selling their wares. Yes, they're persistent.
McDonalds and Burger King across from one another. Who knew they were in Cartagena.
Well, you sound like you are still having a blast! Great pictures as always and I still manage to learn a thing or two and smile about your antics in your writings. :). Larry says he wants to find one of those "tour buses" you were on with the "Mariachi Bands" and the 'Rum & Cokes' as it sounded like a great way to tour a city. Will wait for your next post. Keep having fun! Hugs! ❤️
