Cartagena was sacked a couple times, once by Sir Francis Drake and once by the French.

The old city walls (still intact) were built after the former.

The Colombians consider Drake a pirate (technically he was a privateer since he was working for his government). I don't blame them.
 
Does private earing thus get a bad name in the public realm ...

May explain why private perseverance is considered a tough activity and quite sensitive ... sentient 's ...

There are several connections between two World Heritage Sites I have visited over past few days.

Fortifications in both Cartagena, Colombia and Portobello, Panama were designed by Juan Baptiste Antonelli.

Both were attacked by the British Admiral Edward Vernon (who got his butt kicked at Cartagena, not clear on how Portobelo went).

Not only is the Pacific Northwest moving Westward against both the Juan de Fuca mini plate (which is currently stuck between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate-- the NAP is moving SW currently. The Juan de Fuca plate is part of the reason why the PNW has such huge earthquakes i think), but the Entire PNW is rotating clockwise

And every 14 months parts of it stop and even go backward a fraction of an inch for 2 weeks
