Cartagena, Colombia
Hola from Cartagena, Colombia! Today I am sharing pictures from Castillo de San Felipe, and the outfit I am wearing is the only I could due to the extreme heat!!! We would all be walking around in a swimsuit if it was possible.
The Straw Hat that I am wearing is sold everywhere around here for protection from the sun. I purchased mine right before climbing to the top Castillo San Felipe.

Where to Eat in Cartagena
The following restaurants were recommended by my local friends:
1621 Restaurant
Carmen Restaurant
Don Juan
La Casa de Socorro
Marea by Rausch
Vera (located inside Tcherassi Hotel)
We tried the restaurants that were recommended to us, and thought they were incredible. Here are my thoughts: Marea by Rausch was a fancy spot. Vera, a restaurant from fashion designer Silvia Tcherassi was a little pricey but the food was exquisite! And if you would like to eat the yummiest local food at a non-touristy restaurant, then go to La Casa de Socorro (I would like to go back)! Don Juan offers local cuisine also but it is located right in the middle of the touristy area. Overall though, we loved every single restaurant for a different reason.
