After breakfast the group went by taxis to the Ministerio de Ciencias y Tecnologia. There we met with representatives from that ministry as well as from the Ministerio de Educacion. They gave welcoming presentations and explanations about their work. We then gave our presentations - introductions about our schools and our work. Our counterparts (Marce included) joined us at the ministry offices. It all ended with a presentation of welcome gifts by the head of the technology/science ministry.
We all went back to the hotel to get our luggage. Marce and I got a taxi and went to her house. I will be staying in comfortable apartment behind their house. They wanted to give me privacy. It will work well. I met her family: Miguel, her husband, and her two children, Consuelo (15 years old) and Santiago (12 years old). Santiago was very eager to practice English with me. Consuelo, not so eager.
We had a late cena of pasta and wine capped with a traditional drink of Fernet and coke.
