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!
I had and still have mixed feelings about visiting Cuba. I knew that there would be pretty vintage cars and charming architecture but how was the Communist slave island going to feel once I was there? Well, I had 48 hours in Cuba to find out.
