A friend of mine is working and traveling in Colombia.  He WAS in Thailand.  What a life, huh?  I thought that it would be good to share some pictures of his travels.  I'd love for other people to get to see some of the things he is seeing.  I will post everything from everyday life stuff to architecture in hopes to share a bit of Colombia with those that have never been. 

This is a picture of the skyline of Cartagena, Colombia.  I love the contrast of the beautiful palm trees, the sparkle of the water, and the wonderful, blue sky.  Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did!

This is a picture of the absolutely ginormous Colombian flag that proudly flies above the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas.  It is visible throughout the city and is just gorgeous.  Of course, the castle itself is pretty stunning, itself.  I hope that you enjoy this photo!

Finding the right neighborhood is the first place to start when searching homes for sale in Denton. Below I’ve prepared a short summary of Southridge in Denton.

Southridge is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Denton. Nestled between I-35 and Teasley, it offers both quick access to the highway and a quiet place to raise a family. It is an older, established neighborhood with friendly neighbors and a great community. You will find many neighbors taking walks through the streets to Joe Skiles Park where dogs and kids enjoy playing. The yards and streets are heavily treed providing a shady hideout from hot summer days. When searching for homes for sale in Denton, it is important to consider schools. Southridge is located directly across from Sam Houston Elementary which is a Recognized Campus by the Texas Education Agency. Right down the street is McMath Middle School, also a TEA Recognized Campus. You can feel safe knowing your children are attending a great school so close to home. As far as dining and entertainment goes, Southridge is located next to Loop 288 which offers dozens of restaurants, fast food, shopping and grocery stores. You really can’t find a more family friendly, convenient neighborhood.

This is a picture of Bocagrande, the beach area of Cartagena, Colombia.  It is taken from afar in the part of Colombia known as Crespo.  Pretty much the entire city of Cartagena is lined with huge boulders that break the water at the shoreline.  The only place where there are actual swimable beaches is Bocagrande.  The Caribbean sure isn't a bad place to be in December!

This is a picture of the middle of downtown Cartagena, Colombia.  You can see all the taxis that drive along the roads honking and beeping all the time.  Also, you can see the wall that was built around the city in the 1600's to protect it from pirates.  Behind the wall is the inner city which is sprawling with old buildings that make up residences, restaurants, hotels, and places to shop.

If you haven't been to or seen Highland Village, you are missing out. If you are looking to move, consider the amazing homes for sale in Highland Village.

Located on the southern edge of Denton County on Lewisville Lake, Highland Village is tucked away off I-35 E, creating a quiet lake community with easy access to both Dallas and Forth Worth. Highland Village began as a gathering of get-a-away houses for business professionals of the Metroplex. After realizing the true greatness of this area, many chose to make this their permanent residence. If one is looking for lake life with a modern twist, Highland Village has it figured out. Highland Village residents have a quick commute to either Dallas or Fort Worth, and as of recently “The Shops at Highland Village” have opened and residents can easily enjoy near-by shopping, dining, and movies. Many homes for sale in Highland Village are located mintues from the lake or shopping. While residents have access to these modern conveniences, they do not have to sacrifice safety, education, or the comfort of a close-knit community. Highland Village proudly boasts its #1 ranking in safety in North Texas, and students attend Lewisville ISD, whose campuses have repeatedly been named as “Exemplary.” The community also has multiple occasions to come together at annual events hosted by the city. These include both the Highland Village Balloon Festival and Highland Village Days, which welcomes the onset of summer. And of course, residents have the lake to enjoy all year round. With all the great homes for sale in Highland Village, it is easy to see why D Magazine ranked Highland Village as #2 on their list of “The 10 Best Dallas Suburbs.”

Being that we, here at the Real Estate by Design Group, are experts in this area, we'd love to help you find your dream home. Visit our website at www.REbDgroup.com to see all available homes for sale in Highland Village.

The story behind this gentleman is pretty hilarious.  Basically, he travels the old city (the part of the city inside the old, Spanish walls) of Cartagena and blares Shakira songs and does crazy dances to them.  He's absolutely great!  There were a couple of good pictures of him, but I think this one shows off his stomach the best.  He does the strangest belly roll and is full of charisma and enthusiasm.  I wish I had his energy!  I hope you get as much of a kick out of a picture of him as I did!

I figured I'd share a picture of the best beer in Colombia.  This one was taken at one of the many public squares that are located throughout the city of Cartagena.  There are tons of little, open plazas that people sit at during the night time and talk, drink, play games, and so much more.  It's really a great scene.  There are at least four generations of Colombians hanging out together.  It's fun to see their all-age-encompassing culture thrive.
