The Esmeralda

August 28, 2017 / leavingmainstreet / Leave a comment

Our apartment looks out over the bay and one of our favorite pastimes is watching all the different ships and boats that come to visit Cartagena.  This past weekend we had the chance to tour the beautiful Chilean Navy boat, The Esmeralda. She is only visiting Cartagena for a few days, so we hopped over to … Continue reading The Esmeralda

The Evolution of Coffee

August 25, 2017 / leavingmainstreet / Leave a comment

When I first arrived in Cartagena, I liked coffee.   I enjoyed it to-go while I was doing other things.  Then, I moved to a place that really loves coffee. I've talked about it before, sitting with friends, drinking coffee out of a vintage tea-cup or a big beautiful mug, not rushing on your way … Continue reading The Evolution of Coffee

We used Cartagena … Continue reading Cartagena Ghost Tour

I'm pretty pale.  Like it took me 3.5 months of living in the Caribbean to get tan lines.  I have the ability to can get a tan, I just choose to stay pretty clear of it when I have a choice.  We came from a very cloudy climate, so moving to 365 days of sun, … Continue reading It’s All About the Sun… Screen

1 Year In…

August 7, 2017August 7, 2017 / leavingmainstreet / Leave a comment

It isn't exactly one year just yet, but for all intents and purposes, we are at the beginning of a new school year and back in CTG.  I wrote this post last year about wondering when this place would feel like home.  Well, I'm not sure I can call it home, but it is a … Continue reading 1 Year In…
