Being the English Assistant at the University of Cartagena has given me some amazing opportunities already. I have met all the head honchos and they have all offered me their services whenever I need it. The rector of the university gave me the best gift: when he found out I wanted to go up the school's tower he called the security guard to personally escort me to the very top to see the most beautiful view of Cartagena. It was fabulous! Here are a few pictures: 
First we had to go up this really sketchy stairway...
The inside of the tower is beautiful! I love the windows and the floor.
This is the university from above. Gorgeous! 
I live between the tall buildings in the back. Everyday I walk from there to here. It looks a lot farther than it really is. It is beautiful!
The mountain in the background here is called La Popa. This is the highest point in Cartagena and is one of those points that helps you figure out where you are. You can see it from almost anywhere. On the very tip, there is a church, but I don't think you can really see it in this picture.
Beautiful views, eh?
Fabulous! You live in a beautiful city!
ReplyDeleteoh boy I wish I could come visit, it is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! I am trying to imagine seeing it through my own eyes... just fyi I have decided to live vicariously through you. I asked my mom if I could go visit you (I found amazingly cheap tickets online) but she said definitely no way :( She doesn't even want me to go on my trip to Bolivia bc she imagines that everyone there will try to kill me (i don't know why). Therefore, Colombia is a bit of a stretch... (tear)
ReplyDeleteHow cool Lani! I love the view of the school from the tower. Well- I love it all but the school looked extra cool. Glad things are going well.
