what have we been up to??

traveling, living, and enjoying colombia…

after finishing our circumnavigation on february 2012 we decided to stay in cartagena, at least esteban and the boat. I travel back and forth from home in the US and esteban stays on board puerto seguro. because the boat is in the marina we enjoy the ac and fresh running water all the time and internet (when it works) and electricity! its like a little house with all the luxuries of land. we also take trips now without worrying that the boat will drag or not be safe. some weekends or even weeks we travel to other cities. we have gone several times to visit family in barranquilla and bogota. we went to the beautiful town of villa de leyva which was a pleasant contrast of mountain and cold!




















sometimes we go to the nearby bay of cholon near the islas del rosario and stay for a couple of nights, some others we stay in the city and enjoy the city life of cartagena and its many and delicious restaurants, or take the dingui to the beaches of tierra bomba (we actually have done this only once). we move around and enjoy the family the food, and amazing sites of colombia.
