December 21: Winter Solstice

The shortest day of the year took us to the pool again.


Then back to old town to the Charleston Santa Teresa Hotel in Plaza Santa Teresa in Old Cartagena.


View of the Charleston from the old wall across the street. The hotel was originally built in the 1600's as a convent, and renovated a few years ago to a five-star hotel. Comparing this hotel with the Sofitel Legend Santa Clara, I guess old convents make lovely hotels!


Lobby of the Charleston, with coral columns and a lovely proportion of arches.


We opted for a casual dinner of ceviche and pizza in the terrace garden fronting the hotel. The Plaza Santa Teresa was fully lit for Christmas!



A magic winter wonderland--tropical style! Beautiful and tranquil end to a leisurely day.
