In Cartagena we bought a bunch of so-called Panama hats (the original place of these hats is a hot debate between Panama, Colombia and Ecuador....) and at the end of our stay in Baru we took a nice photo in front of the Atlantic Ocean posing with the hats (which now are on the heads of a bunch of students in Hamilton and London). Earlier we had take a few fun photos with the hats:
Our son Mark put this one on my facebook profile and Mary and I were surprised on the fun reactions people gave. How much impact hats can have.....
When I had a short work meeting in Cartagena, Mary walked around the city and noticed the man in the middle of this street. He appeared to be close to blind but did not use a stick. It was interesting to see how people just live past this poor fellow who seems to have been roaming the streets of the city already for many years. The beauty of this city contrasts with the sadness of this man....
I will leave you on this post with one of those beautiful sunsets we were fortunate to witness in Baru and all the reflections it calls up when we stare at such natural beauty....
