Cartegena


By far the cleanest and smallest city yet. A huge contrast to the Cartegena Columbia of our past. We have loved all the Spanish ports.

Here we learned about a defensive light house...where it leads the ships of enemies to the rocks. We also visited a crypt where if you turn in a circle the skeletons on the wall dance like a flip book. They dance over crowns, etc. to represent that death is a great equalizer and inevitabl.

This port is a navel seaport and has many forts to protect. The Port is beautiful and small and a real challenge to put a big ship into.

We are off to our last two Canary ports and then home.... what fun we have has so far.
