Odds and Ends from Panama

The 6 hour plane ride included two meals. Got to love to fly international. This picture was taken after an 8 hour drive from SLC to Vegas overnight with no sleep because Southwest cancelled our flight at the last moment. 
Christmas in the mall across from the hotel.

The view from our hotel room of the landscape and the swimming pool.
Panama City
This Colon. The most disgusting city I have ever seen.

Great Sunset from Aruba!










Bon Bini Bonaire!

View of Bonaire from the ship.


 The Center of town and the tourist district.







 The old Bonaire Fort.



 After we arrived back at the dock from diving these kids were taking turns jumping into the ocean.




The Great Walled Cify of Cartagena, Colombia

Cartagena is big city that looks like Miami.

 You can see the walls on the river.







 All of the stone halls of the Fort.














 The fort of San Felipe was constructed in 1657.







 Inside the walls of Cartagena. It look very similar to the French Quarter in New Orleans.




 The famous Colombian sculptor that thought big was sexy and hot!



 A small square with eateries and bars located inside the walls.







 Museum of the Spanish Inquisition. All sorts of cool torture items and replicas.


















Sydney needs to get her room cleaned or else!

 The home where Sir Francis Drake lived while he took over the city.

 The street markets in Cartagena.


 A sun dial located on a side of the building so every knows what time it is .

The Catholic Church of the Claver. He assisted and freed slaves of Colombia.
