Typically, Kevin and I love to take a 2 week vacation. For most Americans, taking 2 full weeks of vacation is often seen as extravagant (as our European friends know, this barely scratches the surface to truly get away). This year, however, we were both short on time due to…
During our trip to Colombia, Kevin and I ate at some of the best restaurants in the country including Bogota’s famous restaurant Carne De Res (a freak show/restaurant all wrapped in one). You won’t go hungry in Cartagena – that’s for sure. Some of the best meals can be found here,…
I can’t believe the trip to Cartagena is coming to an end. Today we decided to get outside the city and try something different. A lot of people come for the beaches but we decided for the weird – to climb inside a volcano filled with mineral-rich mud with therapeutic…
