Hot hot hotttttttttt
Cartagena Columbia. when you step out of bed at 8am and back away into the shade of the cabin due to the heat...you know its going to be a crazy hot day. 88 degrees at 8am....gulps!! we had a really good day in Cartagena, the horse drawn carriage ride was brilliant and the streets were shady and very colonial looking.

Panama City is, unfortunately, not only about the old beautiful grandeur.
