How to make Cartagena ceviche

Cartagena is a city that seduces you from every angle and through all the senses, from the most ornate, flower-adorned cathedral to the smell of greasy arepas wafting from street vendors.

I happened on these ceviche mongers one afternoon and any doubts I had over the freshness of the seafood were dispelled once I tasted it. Their allure is in their folksy simplicity: the sweetness of the tomato sauce with the tang of lime and the bite of the ají. I went back for more every day I was there.

Here Santander, my favourite vendor of the bunch, shows you how to prepare it at home.

  1. Hi River,To begin with I would just like to thank you for undertaking this amiznag venture of praying for a stranger a day. I only just stumbled across you today and your story has really inspired and encouraged me to start my own journey of praying for strangers. I have recently felt a call in my own life to pray for strangers, like you mentioned those special people that just stand out in a crowd. I am a Christian and am continuing to discover how powerful and positive it is to pray with and for people and that when we do it releases God to work in that persons life. Despite this I am naturally an introverted person and often when I feel a prompting from the Holy Spirit to pray for someone or give them money or something I shy away from it. I do however seek to step out on this journey of faith and break out of my comfort zone and self-centered life. Anyway, I thank you very much again for taking this step of faith and sharing your experience of praying for strangers because I believe that simple little undertakings like these can have wide-spread effects. Also you are a very talented writer and are using your gift in amiznag ways. Keep up the good work!May God bless you and your family abundantly!Daniel, from Australia!
