Loved hockey day at Saint Arnold’s Brewery in Houston. First year and already a success.

Indian Canyons in Palm Springs. This hike was amazing. It was half mountains and half Jurassic Park. Definitely worth a visit.

Yup, that’s my daughter…

Phoenix Mountain Preserve

Camelback in the early evening.

Hiking in Phoenix. Always enjoy South Mountain. It’s so much less busy than some of the other sites.

Behold the door knockers of Cartagena! In all seriousness they’re pretty sweet.

Obligatory beach pic. Columbia is fun…

Cartagena Museum of Modern Art. It costs $10,000 pesos to get in, which is about $2 US. It is small. The art is very good. I captured my favorites here. Spent about a half an hour here. The biggest drawback for me is that nothing is really explained. There are placards next to each work that give the name of the work, the author, and the date. But nothing more. It would be nice if there was an audio tour or something.

I love the door knockers in Cartagena. It makes me feel like I’m in Italy but in the New World.

The Cathedral of Santa Catalina. I think inside at least this is the most beautiful church to see in Cartagena. The woodwork above the nave is gorgeous.

I highly recommend the Museum of Gold in Cartagena. It is free, in both English and Spanish, and an easy 30 minute visit. We’ll worth it.
