Another upscale island destination popular with the Colombian upper classes is Punta Iguana, which feels like a mini-South Beach. Less-expensive day-trip options dotted around the archipelago range from Colombia's version of a swim-up bar to a variety of touristy beaches equipped with cooking huts where freshly caught fish is simply but succulently prepared.

Weakland admitted an "inappropriate relationship" but denied abuse. Soon after, Dolan had to parry a mini-revolt among some of Milwaukee's priests, who signed a petition saying celibacy should be optional in the future.
