Luckily, my Cartagena hotel had a deal with a local resort: during the off-season, guests could use the pool, beach, and other facilities of the resort! Now I realize their water slide was a baby version compared to water parks... but for me to even go down the thing was actually an achievement. To my delight I started finding ways to accelerate more and change the angle of entering the water. All in all, I went down 34 times, plus one for good luck! (Come to think of it, in August maybe I'll throw a Walter Payton themed birthday party.)
I got two souvenirs this weekend. The free one was grabbing some small sea shells and rocks to adorn the top of some Bed Bath and Beyond type of indoor rock/water sculpture. That will bring me great memories of the excellent beach experience I had today! The more pricey one, but totally worthwhile, was the four square pieces of artwork I bought from a vendor. His parents and grandparents are both artists, and the art I got turned out to foreshadow the tree lizard and parrot I saw the next day!
