CHRISTMAS IN CARTAGENA- Dec.23, 2009

Wow! It's nearly Christmas. We heard that Christmas in Cartagena would be special and we are finding out that this is so! Enjoy these pictures of what we are seeing!

We are living on Sea Star in the anchorage in front of and South of Club Nautico. Rumor is that the owner of Club Nautico supported the wrong candidate for Mayor (the one who lost) and has had her renovations stopped. There are no facilities and services available. Boats can be tied side by side and like a "med mooring" they are faced bow in and the stern is held by lines tied to blocks under water. As of three days ago there is one shower. We are carrying our water as the harbor is too dirty to make water. It might ruin the diaphram in the water-maker.
Don't foget to return to blog for more after each slide show or movie.

Cartagena- where we are


The next set of pictures show some of the people and activities that keep us so very busy- beside fixing the necessary things on Sea Star like the radar, and brand new VHF radio.


Cartagena- What we do.


One night I went to a ballet recital. It was wonderful-lots of fun.


At the Ballet


Now just enjoy our pics of Cartagena. Dan and Laura, the daughter of a friend who was visiting Navy Blue both enjoy photography. One night we strolled through the Old City taking photos.

Cartagena before Christmas


We hope you enjoyed our walk through the Old City. See you next year!!
