When
Bernd and Irmtraud Koenemann visited our CartagenaInfo office
recently I admired his Professional model Olympus SLR digital
camera and looked at some of the Cartagena photos he has taken.
Very Nice! He has agreed to share them with us. They represent
what many visitors see and photograph while in Cartagena, including
photos of a party or two! With our thanks to the Koenemann's,
for the photos, here is their brief biography.
We
were born and raised in Germany. In 1980 we moved to the United
States following an attractive job offer. Bernd has a PhD Theoretical
Physics and works in the semiconductor industry. Irmtraud has
a successful web based (www.webviewz.com)
design and Home Page creation business. For the last 10 years
we have been living in San Jose, California. We came to Cartagena
de Indias by accident, so to speak. Early last year Colombian
friends living in San Jose, invited us to come to Bogotá
with them for a Christening and they set up a side trip to Cartagena
and the Islas Del Rosario for us. We liked Cartagena so much that
a few months later, we returned on our own. Currently (February
2005) we are in Cartagena for four weeks to find a second home
for us.
UPDATE:
YES, The Koenemann's found and purchased their second home,
a very nice apartment in Castillogrande. On their next return
to Cartagena they will be making some changes, turning their house
into a "home". Cartagena welcomes the Koenemann's and
hopes they will tell their friends about the beauty, romance,
history, fun and excitement of their new city on the Caribbean.
