Here are a few more highlights from my trip to Egypt where I attended a conference on Adolescent Girls Advocacy Leadership Initiative sponsored by the UN Adolescent Girls Program. We were a delegation of six persons from Liberia, from local NGOs.
On Sunday we went to the Alexandria Library, and also visited a museum in the lower level of the library. The library is a beautiful and modern place with state-of-the-art equipment. There is so much history in Egypt; what a great honor to be able to see some of the sites.
The shops stay open until 1-2 a.m., so most of our Liberian group, as well as the Malawian delegation stayed out late. I went out for the first time to the market Sunday night and we got back at 12:00 midnight, and ate pizza and roasted chicken for supper at that hour. The time difference is 3 hours ahead of Liberia, so we had some confusion as to the time of day.
Monday night we had a graduation with dinner at a restaurant on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. I hope to post those photos later.
My week is over and I’m back in Liberia, busy as ever.
Rosy, those pictures are amazing. That's one place that I'd like to visit some day. I'm so glad you got the chance to go there.
I hope you had an enriching week in Egypt with lots of ideas and information that you can use. I look forward to seeing what's next.
Your friend there doesn't look too happy. Love the photos, thanks for sharing.
