Cartajena was as beautiful as the other places we saw in Colombia. The walled old part of town dates back to the 1500’s and is filled with colonial buildings, squares, streets and of course doors. It’s also a modern city on the coast which means lots and lots of coastline and beaches. Even the coffee … The post Cartajena Doors, beaches and party buses appeared first on Sounds Good on Paper ..read more

Our guidebook and everything we read on the internet warned that if you want to climb the Piedra del Peñol to do it early. But it’s hard not to linger when you have a delicious breakfast overlooking a lake with both coffee and hot chocolate. I’m not much of a hot chocolate drinker but this … The post Piedra del Peñol – Big rock with stairs and lots of people appeared first on Sounds Good on Paper ..read more

But then again, he said he was “busy” when we asked him … The post Guadape – Doors, tourists and boutique hotels appeared first on Sounds Good on Paper ..read more

Medellin is a huge city with a lot of things to do. We didn’t do any of them, but it was good to know we could. We mostly hung out in the Poblado neighborhood. It’s full of beautiful trees, cute cafes and high end restaurants. There is even a river running through it. The flower … The post Medellin appeared first on Sounds Good on Paper ..read more

When I started working for Starbucks in 1999 I didn’t even like coffee. But, now all these years later I love drinking it, and have always wanted to see how it grows up close. Although I didn’t want it enough to sign up for an early morning tour. Let’s not be crazy. Instead we called … The post Coffee trees, mud, and a tuk tuk appeared first on Sounds Good on Paper ..read more

Jardin is known as the most beautiful town in Colombia and the town lives up to its marketing. The mountains were stunning, the people were nice and all the men wore hats which I loved seeing. And then there were the doors. I could have taken 1,000 photos of doors. I tried to restrain myself … The post Jardin: Hats, horses, doors and a cable car appeared first on Sounds Good on Paper ..read more

We spent our first night in a hotel and went out for a great dinner. I have no photos because I got over hungry and was hangry. The view from our hotel the next morning was stunning. Our included breakfast included some Colombian specialties. After breakfast we did a quick walk before packing up and … The post Medellin, for about ten minutes. appeared first on Sounds Good on Paper ..read more

It’s weird that we have spent most of our time in Panama in a pandemic. But, we’ve been extremely lucky to be safe, healthy and employed.    The vaccine is slower to roll out here than in the U.S. but while we wait (me more impatiently then Jeff) I’m reflecting at how much different things are … The post Panama in the pandemic appeared first on Sounds Good on Paper ..read more
