Cartagena de Indias is a city in Colombia founded in 1533 on the Caribbean coast of South America. The old, walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reminiscent of an upkept Havana or a quieter New Orleans. The little city is full of romantic Spanish-Colonial architecture with bright colors and flowers, flowers everywhere!

For my birthday this year, my husband surprised me with the best gift: a surprise trip to Cuba!

It’s long been a special place, thanks to Jules Verne’s book Journey to the Center of the Earth: where the entryway to the center of our planet is through Snæfellsjökull Volcano on the tip of the peninsula.
