Another Reason To Be Happy!

It's bound!

 

Deleting Pictures - LOTS of Pictures!

building in Old Town - Cartagena, Colombia

Although I don't have the exact number in my head

Courtyard at  Hotel 3 Banderas where Pedro took Hillary on their first trip to Colombia...and then, at their recommendation, Jerry and I stayed at on our way home from our first trip here. We had the room in the top left corner. Loved it.

- a couple months ago - 

Another view of the beautiful courtyard.

I had OVER 29,000 pictures 

Most of these pictures were taken while walking the streets of Old Town Cartagena and I don't have specific info.

- that's TWENTY_NINE THOUSAND

in my photo program. 

I've been telling myself for years

love visiting the street vendors

that I need to delete some of them 

but it's just been in the past month or so 

that I've gotten busy with this project. 

I took this picture while standing on the wall that surrounds Old Town or the Old City and I think I'm facing the Carribbean...over there behind those high rise buildings.

I'm down to 17,107

Yes...Jerry and I braved the elements at night. Colombia is NOT as scary as ya'all think it is.

as of this minute

and I thought 

Ann - feel free to sketch any of these!

I'd put some of the ones 

that I'm going to delete 

onto my blog 

Still on the wall...pointed in another direction.

because they're just too wonderful 

Aforementioned dungeons...now made into shops (under the part of the wall you can walk on). Cool, huh?!?

to consign them to perdition. 

Or 

where ever deleted photos go 

I was told by the man who owns the shop across the street that Shakira has bought and will refurbish this building. You know she is from Barranquilla...where I live. You didn't know that?!?

when they leave my hard drive. 

They're all saved to disc 

Is this church beautiful...or what?!?

so I can get to them 

when I want...

don't you just love this time of night?!?

and I'm leaving my most favoritist 

I think they call this building the Clock Tower.

(I know that's not a word - (favoritist)) 

in my program...

Yep...these are my least favorite photos.

so 

Don't freak. OK?

This is a school near The Dungeons and you wouldn't BElieve the noise coming out of there around lunch time. Whew!

I'll be doing this again 

View from the back seat.

sometime

Looks like they've painted the outside since we were there (according to the link above)

in the next few years

This is the spot in Cartagena - or near it - where Mike Douglas...in the movie 'Romancing The Stone' jumped off the wall to retrieve the emerald out of the Crocodile's belly.

- after I've given everyone 

whichever pictures they're in - 

There's a church up on that hill and if my memory is correct...that's where most of the filming was done for "Romancing The Stone"

and then have it down to 

a manageable 10,000 pix 

or so. 

Can you blame me for taking so many pictures?!?

I hope. 

I've deleted THOUSANDS

of pix 

in the last few days 

because I had a week 

of down time...

(pretty much)...

with a spider bite 

that had me feeling really bad. 

The fruit here on the coast is plentiful and WONderful!

But I'm on the mend and have been back in the play room again today 

Took this picture while on a horse & buggy tour so I'd remember to go back!

and CAN"T WAIT to see my Sophia again.
