Meet and Great the POTUS

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!
