13 days left...

With only 13 days left, it's getting sad. We have spent the last 5 days in Cartagena. The town is really pretty. It is a walled city, and there are a couple of forts around the town. Still on the Caribbean coast, the weather here is great! About 30C...so we are sweating everyday...yes feel sorry for me please!!

We spent a day walking around the old walled town, which is full of cobblestone streets and brightly painted buildings. Then we went out to a bar on top of the walls of the city. Yesterday we took a day trip to the local volcano, which is full of mud. So we went for mudbaths. As soon as you get into the mud, there are men hanging out massaging you and making sure you are relaxed. It was weird and a little bit disgusting, but also very cool. The mud is very buoyant so it is impossible to sink in it. It's pretty odd...

Then today, we went to check out one of the old forts. A bit of history is always nice. We also checked out the Modern Art Museum, which had a really cool temporary exhibit from MOMA of all sorts of sketches of famous people.

Tomorrow we are headed to the Panama coast (we hope). We are going to a halfway point to see if we can catch a bus and then another boat. Apparently from there you can walk across the border to Panama.

More soon
