Antibes: your Liebe?

You won’t complain-a in Cartagena

We've been to Cartagena, Colombia many, many times. Why, you may ask? We have family there, but - even more - it's such a wonderful place to be (as is all of Colombia.) Relaxed, hip, diverse, fun and rich in history. And the food transcends. Located on the northern coast…
