Summit of the Americas - Cartagena

Greetings!

Didi was lucky enough to be in Cartagena for the Summit of the Americas. The Summit, which is just a fancy way of gathering world leaders to hang out, eat expensive food and ultimately reach no consensus on any policies. All of the heads of states for every country in the Americas, except Cuba who was not invited, and Rafael Correa of Ecuador who refused to come because Cuba was excluded.

Didi took some great pictures. I thought I would share them with you. She even saw Obama's motorcade, as he was staying down the street from her. His motorcade consisted of 30 cars and a trailing helicopter. (and that's without the Secret Service agents that were busy taking in the scenery...)

Here is the CNN news boat. Not really sure why they have one. But it is pretty cool looking. (There are replica pirate ships behind it)

This is where the summit was held.

Do you remember these nice women? They were quoted saying Obama is "cute" and "beautiful." I'm jealous.


That's all for now!

Saludos desde Bogotá!
