Cartagena – Ants!

Hangin’ ’round in the Port of Cartagena by myself
And I had too much of a sweet fruit smoothie
And I was thinkin’  ’bout myself
And there it was….
This is a small area in the Port of Cartagena. It was calm and tranquil, unlike the city beyond the port gates. I chose a remote bench to sit on. Only then did I notice the ants. Billions all around. I had a bad run-in with ants in Bryce Canyon, Utah, USA. Great. Maybe I’ll only do a quick sketch and color it later. But something interesting happened. Even though a line of ants was marching along my bench, none of them bothered me. So I sat and did the complete painting. I had one or two ants investigate me, but they did not bite me. I do not know if I should take that in a good way.

Lunch in Grenada

Painted this while sitting at the Ocean Grill Restaurant in Georgetown, Grenada today. Ship sails for Tobago in little over an hour. It’s a nice little place. Burgers are good, with a distinctly Caribbean flavor. If you arrive at the main cruise ship pier in St George’s, then you have to walk through the tunnel to get here. You don’t know about the tunnel?
