Tue, Jan 31: Cartegena, Columbia

Coming in to port:

In the middle of the bay is a statue of the Virgin of Carmen:

Views of the city from the ship:

We visited Fort of San Felipe de Barajas, constructed in the 1600's:

And the dungeons, now a shopping area:

Walked through the colorful and busy streets:

View more balconies.

Simon Bolivar

Church and gardens:

Mary then went Emerald shopping.

On our way out of the port: 

And we had rough seas again after we left Cartagena.
