We strolled Santa Marta's beach front with, it seems, about half of Santa Marta's inhabitants; all of them out with their families or lovers for a pleasant evening in the cool ocean breezes near the sea, looking for a nice restaurant. The one we found was in an alley in the old town nearby, one of many restaurants there. We chose one which had ceviche on the menu.

While we ate and drank our wine the hauntingly soft slow wail of a saxophone and pan drum echoed down the alley; two street musicians were playing jazz for coins. We were enchanted by the music, the food, and the magical night in Santa Marta.

We think we're going to love Columbia.
