Santa Marta, Colombia - January 30, 2025

I had not planned an excursion (nothing wowed me) so I slept in as is my usual.  Not sure if it’s the medicine I am on or the aftermath of the cancer, but I usually feel lousy in the mornings.  Things get better around noon.

All in all, it was a very lazy day.  I was finally able to catch up with my blog - including relearning how to add pictures.  Attended trivias, ate, and went to the show.  Tonight’s show was the guitarists I didn’t go to see the other night.  Everyone said how good they were and they were right.
