So - the President of the United States was in town this week and he did a special Meet and Great with folks from the Embassy. We were all pretty excited and the event filled up quickly - even though we knew we'd have to get there super early and wait a very long time.
Of course we got dressed up - some of us even got new outfits.
Then we took special busses to get to the location.
The stage was all set for a long time.
There was a special area for the kids - a great idea. Not only did they then have a place to play and hang out, but, they were all together in case the President decided to do a photo with them.
The adults were in a larger space - kind of like a big mosh pit.
Eventually, however, the President arrived and was introduced by our Ambassador.
It was a bit hard to see with all the cell phones and tall people.
And it got even harder when he headed over to the kids section. He took a picture with all the kids and both N. and O. got to high-five and fist-bump him. Sadly, I couldn't see it - but I'm hoping that there will be some official photos.
Pretty cool!
