Cartagena People



Like many tourist towns there is a lot on view here. Some of it seems specifically for the tourists (t-shirts, jewelery, horse drawn carriages). Other parts of the street life seem geared at the locals. Last night we watched a waiter from a very high end restaurant walk out into a square that our bar over looked and buy an ice cream sandwich from one of the vendors.

After all the walking we asked for a restaurant recommendation from Edgar our guide. I'm so glad we did! This restaurant was great, local food made right by the ladies in the open kitchen. Plus the cute waiter made excellent pina coladas.

Whenever we travel and stumble across a barbershop Chris gets a hair cut. The hair cut isn't the point, its about the experience. This barbershop was right beside our luncheon restaurant. Each of the men in the chairs had a lovely lady observing and ordering just the right cut. And, just in case you might need her, in the corner of the shop was a notary who advertised everything from baptismal to wedding certificates.
