We stayed in the beach side town of Santa Marta for 3 days. The town really didn´t have too much character, and most people arrive only to leave for Taganga or other national parks near by. The weather was really HOT with super high humidity!!! During our short stay in Santa Marta we went to the beach in town, went to the beach in El Rodedero (another beach town 15 mins away) and one night we went for a date night to see the Terminator:Salvation movie. Watching a movie in South America is a different experience from home. You have to reserve your seats when you purchase the tickets from the box office. That way you know exactly where you will sit. FUN FACT: We have noticed that in every country that we have watched a movie (Peru, Colombia, Thailand, India) there is assigned seating. Even the popcorn is different than home. The popcorn in North America is representive of our diet... loads of salty butter with the option of dripping more butter on. Here in South America the popcorn is plain white and you have the option of either salt or suger.
