Cartegena, Colombia

I am IPM today (IPM = In Port Manning) which means I have to stay on the ship today, so I won't get to see Columbia. We are not near the main part of town – about 3 miles out. We are docked in a shipyard. It reminds me of Long Beach, with all the shipping containers, but the main part of town is a bit away. I heard that there is an animal sanctuary in the terminal. I will just have to wait until we come back in January. We had a group cabaret show tonight. Each of us did about 2 songs. We didn't have a big crowd, but I think they enjoyed it. I haven't figured this audience out yet – they aren't as enthusiastic as our previous passengers.
