Why I love Cartagena

I'm married to a girl from Turbaco.
I love going to the beach. Turbaco is way outside of town so to get to the bocagrande I gotta bus al the waydown to the bomba el amparro then all the way through town past castellana past plaza de los torros past basurto past pie de la popa, manga and then fianlly centro and then bocagrande.
The whole way I've got my cooler and by the time I get to playa hollywood I'm feeling good. After that trip the bocagrande is paradise. The worst hoard of vendedores is nothing I actually look forward to seeing them. In fact I know where most of them live I say good bye to them when they get off the bus in nuevo bosque or terenera in fact the deaf guy who begs in laguito near the cafepuntocom he lives in a pretty nice house in manga i've seen him goin' in. All those guys are part of the life in cartagena you just gotta embrace them. I feel like a celebrity on the beach and they are my paparazzi.
Remember, we're all in this together

I agree gringo. Many regrets when I look at that picture cause I was too drunk to close. I'm impressed with TomTom too because he picked the hotest girl out of the LDV fotos and you cant really tell by the fotos but she was the belle of the ball back when i took those photos. Maybe he recognizes her hmm?
