Day 14 we stopped for half a day in Cartagene, Columbia. This was one of the prettiest cities we visited. The streets of old town reminded me of New Orleans. The tour guide said that the new president has been cleaning up the crime and making the country safer. We did see more beggers in this country than we saw in the others. The street venders were more presistent than the ones in other countries too. A lot of them had to be told many times that we were not interested in what they had to sell....one even followed us back to the van and continued to try to sell us "silver" as we were pulling away from the curb!! This was our last stop before heading back to the states.
