Loc: Bountiful, Utah now Panama
A little explanation is probably in order. My wife and I have moved to Panama. However, for 6 weeks between selling our Utah home and getting title here we were living out of suitcases and mostly moving to a new Airbnb each week. At one point we decided the next Airbnb should be in Cartagena, Colombia. I loved it.
However, the street vendors in the historical district are relentless and nothing identifies one as a gringo quicker than a big camera. I carried it one day, shot a lot of stuff, and relied on my mobile phone after that.
At one point I decided to tell them I speak German (which is true). Three of the first four I tried that on starting speaking German to me!!!
Anyway, here are three shots of Cartagena I liked:

I had to shoot this through a closed gate

Nice series. Thank you.
A beautiful city. The historic area is phenomenal and the doors/hardware are eye catching.
