Living the High Life in Cartegena
Last night we saw another side of Cartegena at a concert, part of a city wide music festival, in a little jewel box of a theater ringed by boxes decorated with lots of gold leaf. The concert was fun but even better was the people watching.
The theater was in the old part of the city but the audience was clearly from the gleaming white towers that ring the harbor in the new part of the city--the women very chic in long gowns, jewelry from H. Stern and artfully applied make up; the men in white linen shirts and pants. Everyone seemed to know everyone else--lots of chatting and air kissing.
After dinner, we strolled a bit through the old city and then took a carriage ride back to our hotel.
