Lucky Statue

The old section of the city had many statues. Most were to famous people who had helped the people gain independence or escape cruel attackers. There is also a woman who looks just like Pocohantas. Her name was Catalina and the legend around her is exactly the same as the John Smith story. Quite strange. She stands in the middle of the harbor in Cartegena. Then there is this woman. She bears a disturbing resemblance to waaay too many women on our cruise, but I digress. The legend surrounding this corpulent creature is that anyone who touches her nipples is endowed with remarkable good fortune. Judging by the polished nature of both her breasts, there must be a lot of incredibly lucky people in Columbia. I was willing to let Carrie take my photo but that was as far as I was willing to go. I heard, "you can look but don't touch" the entire time I was growing up and this seemed like an excellent time to employ that rule!
