A quick update. We hit Cartagena Columbia, Colon Panama, did the ditch, and we are now in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Technically the Suez Canal is a ditch. The Panama Canal isn’t because it has locks. Really, really tight locks. We did a couple tours, have seen some cool things. Food and booze are great. I’m getting used to this. Going back to the real world may be a problem. Internet access is slow and expensive so a better update will be given later. Plus it’s formal night. I gotta get ready to look like Thurston Howe III and take Lovie to dinner.
Cartagena, A UN World Heritage site. Founded in the 1500s.
Why it’s a world heritage site?
Cartagena is for lovers?

A really tight fit in the locks. No that isn’t our boat.
