Checking things out! http://www.checkingthingsout.com Steve's blog posterous.com Sun, 02 Aug 2009 09:24:29 -0700 A new challenge: Caldereta http://www.checkingthingsout.com/a-new-challenge-caldereta http://www.checkingthingsout.com/a-new-challenge-caldereta Having survived the heat, huge amounts of food and drinks and dancing at yesterday's wedding, today we met up at lunchtime to face the local specialty of Cartagena: Caldereta

 The name means something like a "little pot" or a "little broth", but there's nothing little about it. A fish broth is made by boiling heap loads of local fish. Then rice is prepared with the broth. Then you eat the heaps of fish with platefuls of rice. Totally filling, and incredibly delicious.

Here is a Roman theater that was discovered in the 1980's. There's history under every rock here.
