Happy Cartagena Honeymoon!

On August 13, 2024

Our grandson Jonas married his sweetheart Eve in the Provo City, Temple in Utah.


Welcome to the Jason Guffey family Sweet Eve!

The Newlyweds!


When you are newlywed, going back to school and have to watch your budget, what do you do for an awesome honeymoon?


Well, if you're lucky you might have family living in an exotic local that you can visit and you won't have to pay for hotels.
Their flight arrives at the Cartagena Rafael Nuñez International Airport on Saturday August 31st.


An evening on the wall of the old city.


Now, if you're really fortunate, you visit your grandparents, and their mission is two fold. See that you never go hungry and that you save most of your money. 
A delicious deal anyway you look at it.

After church we took the kids up to the Convent de Santa Cruz de la Popa


They seemed to enjoy the history and beauty of the convent and the view.




From there we drove to the fortress Castille de San Felipe de Barajas. A giant fortress built in 1639. It's quite the maze of tunnels and passages inside and quite a climb to the top.




The small guard tower and below is an area where they would have slept on bunks or maybe hammocks.

Getting a photo of the prettiest gal at the fortress. A proud husband moment!

It is kite flying season here and it's not unusual to see dozens or even a hundred kites flying in the parks. This huge whale kite was spotted in the park over the tunnel as we drove home.

Sunday evening was very lovely. We invited some friends over to meet Jonas and Eve and have some cake, brownies and ice cream.

Me, Myriam Glennie and Dunia Ulloque watching the sunset.

Brother Rafael and Sister Dunia Ulloque had a fun time getting to know our grandchildren.

Darryl with Myriam and Ian Glennie enjoying the refreshments. They told the happy couple "Thanks for inviting us to your "Cartagena" wedding reception! Haha!

And the fun has just started. Wait until tomorrow!
