Today we met with the provincial ministry of education of Bolivar to see how we can streamline our EFE training activities with their programs for adult literacy in our project pilot communities (where an estimated 30 % of adults have had no formal education at all - today's coverage for the youth is much better although still not 100 %).
Afterwards I participated in a long Skype meeting with colleagues in Ottawa about a "results based management" workshop we will attend in Lima during the week of Oct 21 - 25...
Then it was time to one more time enjoy the beautiful sunset scenery here in Cartagena....
A cuppa Juan Valdez coffee while seeing the sun go down under the Atlantic Ocean. Many others were enjoying the same view...
In the background you can see the tourist hotel area where the beaches of Cartagena are. This is turning a bit to the left from the first photo. Turning a bit further to the left, overlooking part of the historic city of Cartagena, the sunset gave a beautiful glow over the clouds there...
You can never get enough of the scenery when walking through the streets of historic Cartagena. Above a photo of one of the nicely renovated streets whereby trees are planted who slowly grow up against the houses. Beautiful especially in the evening with the lights...
Near one of the squares of the historic city there is a bar where they play great coastal music and many Colombians dance. This older couple showed their skills outside of the café...
The reward today was a nice dinner with soup and a delicious "lemonade de coco"..... mmmhhhh
Signing off from Cartagena. Tomorrow back to Bogota.
