On the last day in Cartagena I said to Brent and Vlad, "Okay, guys, next stop is Taganga where you are going to learn how to scuba dive."

We've traveled through Ecuador and Colombia in a bit of a rush because we heard so much about the sandy, white beaches (or with Vlad's accent: "sandy, white bitches") on the Caribbean. When we arrived we immediately fell in love, Brent with the warm climate, Vlad with the architecture, me ... http://www.brittnidaley.com/?p=128 Rionegro, Colombia

We stopped in Quito for one night, but felt like it was really dangerous, even though we were in the old town which is suppose to be the safest area, so we decided to only stay two nights. But we got to do the main touristy thing to do in ... http://www.brittnidaley.com/?p=125
