Cartagena, Colombia (International, IT)

A friend of mine is working and traveling in Colombia.  He WAS in Thailand.  What a life, huh?  I thought that it would be good to share some pictures of his travels.  I'd love for other people to get to see some of the things he is seeing.  I will post everything from everyday life stuff to architecture in hopes to share a bit of Colombia with those that have never been.      This is a picture of the skyline of Cartagena, Colombia.  I love the contrast of the beautiful palm trees, the sparkle of the water, and the wonderful, blue sky.  Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did!   Know someone looking for a home in the Dallas/Denton/Fort Worth area?
