I had the wonderful opportunity to go on a quick trip with my family to Cartagena, Columbia. It has been a wish my mother has talked about for the past few years, and when she saw that my sister's and I's schedule opened up - she jumped on it like white on rice lol. These pictures are all kinda jumbled together, but that is kinda how my family travels, lol.
Since this trip was so last minute, unfortunately Ricky wasn't able to join us : (
Don't worry though because we left for a week long trip to the Pacific NW a few days after I got back from this trip.

Just any other day -taking a stroll on the public beach on a horse
My mom arranged for us to visit the Islands of Rasario for the day. I've traveled to a few different places around the Caribbean, but this place by far had the most beautiful water I have ever seen. I seriously felt like I was in Fiji or something.
One of the many delicious meals I had on my visit
Pops and I at dinner one night
The Ladies on the other side. My Grandmother, me, my mom and my sister (left to right)
Sunset on the beach one night from our hotel. (fun fact!) The water is so clear, but looks dark due to the volcanic dark sand.
Beautiful mural along the side of a random building
We took a hop on- hop off tour of the city. This picture was one of the city streets inside the fort ( also know as the old city).
Another view- minus my ugly toes
all around the city is beautiful architecture like this
My mom loves all food from here. She went crazy for all the street food that she ate during her childhood. This was some kind of cheese and guava thingy. Most of us weren't as brave as her to eat from street vendors, but she didn't get sick at all from them :)
This is a condensed milk and coconut thingy
To say she was in Heaven with all these treats would be an understatement
My parents- happily married for the past 30 years :)
When we hopped off of the plane and into the taxi this is what we saw on the streets. Pretty neat and definitely different ; )
View of the bathroom in our nice little hotel room
My parents checking out the view from our room.
So Blogger is giving me some major issues right now, boo!
So this post looks a little on the sloppy side, but at least I got it out to ya!
Have a great week- Luv Di
Next week I'll have our trip to the NW posted
