Wednesday is my usual spa day but tomorrow I'm going to the Botanical Garden in the morning so switched it up this morning. I got more normal mani/pedi and shampoo and added a hair cut, along with the blow dry. Given my crappy Spanish, it was a leap of faith with the hair cut. It isn't exactly what I was expecting but I actually prefer it.
I'm excited to report that I walked the few blocks home, in the sun, and did not sweat. I'm finally adjusted to the temperature and don't feel like passing out after walking for 10 minutes. Luckily for me, it won't be long before it's summer in Lake Mary.
Not many photos but here they are. Tomorrow the garden should be more photogenic than the spa.

| Maybe it's just me, but I don't find the idea of ice cream and ceviche appealing. |

| These pigeons were hoping for a handout, even though I had no food. |

| This guy is one of the men who facilitates parking, which seems to be limited everywhere in Cartagena. A truck wanted to back out onto a busy road so he just stood in traffic, waving the truck out and for the traffic to stop. No one gets upset, it's just how things work. He's paid by the businesses and gets a small tip from drivers he helps. |

| The spa was empty when I arrived but was hopping when I left 2 1/2 hours later. Cost for mani/pedi/cut/shampoo (with 20 minute head massage) and blow dry was about $38. I really enjoy the pampering but that's about a $200 morning in Lake Mary. |

| The new "do". The back is short. Given how much I've sweated since I arrived, I should have cut it when I arrived. |

| Leftovers for dinner - yum! |
The haircut looks fantastic!! A bit of the length is gone, looks fabulous!!!! Civeche and ice cream sounds good, just not together
