10/26/15 - On 10/15 we docked at Cartagena, Colombia.  Aunt Esther had been fighting a cold and decided not to go on the tour we had scheduled so I did the tour by myself.  Part of it was a walking tour and several of us were slower walkers so that was good for me.  We toured an old monastery that was remodeled and housed six priests.  It sat way up on a hill and we had an excellent view of the city.  At one time it was a walled city and the wall is still there but the city is just built are it.  It is a very modern city with lots of high rise buildings.  Our next stop was an old fort but we only had ten minutes so none of us could really walk up the hill to the fort.  We stopped to rest in a beautiful city square and then the tour ended with some shopping at an expensive jewelry store.
