We got to see Barack Obama speak at the airport in Accra yesterday! He made some brief remarks along with Ghanaian President Atta Mills at an event at the airport before he boarded Air Force One. I was informed on Wednesday night that all Peace Corps volunteers were invited to the event and was on a bus the next morning to get to Accra. A lot of other volunteers went and it was a great weekend. After his speech, Obama and his wife came around to shake our hands. I was a couple people away from the barrier so I didn't get to shake his hand, but as you can see from the picture I was really close. Alright, there are other people waiting to use this computer but next time I get the chance I will put some more pictures up!
