Fall Frenzy

Outdoor temps have finally begun to cool, making it easier to work around Heath, and to decorate for the holidays. Throws have been brought out of storage and strategically placed around the house. Cozy is the operative word this season, feeling snug and comfortable from the briskness outdoors is a must.

We can finally turn on the oven for baking or making old fashioned preservers from pears. The smell of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves permeating about truly sets the tone for the season.

Enjoy,

Tabaco y Ron [Cartagena]

Tabaco y Ron 38146 38- a, Cra. 8, Cartagena de Indias, Provincia de Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia

From our first day in Cartagena, we explored each cobblestone street and square to familiarize ourselves with the port city. The heat from the tropical climate was intensified immensely by the humidity. Sightseeing included ducking into the colorful buildings, cathedrals and parks to escape the sun. During the siesta hours we found a quaint establishment called Tabaco y Ron, which became our daily hideaway to relax and unwind around 3:30 or 4:00ish. A few family members enjoyed cigars, as they have authentic Cuban Habano’s for the connoisseur. It was a cool place to escape from the sweltering heat while enjoying a light snack, a refreshing drink and listening to music. The artwork on the walls were painted by local artist. The portraits were most creative, there are two paintings I want to purchase upon my return trip in May 2023.

Travel stylishly,
Kathleen
