Obama

As an update.....he has been!

He arrived will I was out of Accra, luckily I think for me as apparently the traffic hold ups were actually terrible, and this is impressive considering there have been petrol shortages for the past few days....some say so there would be less cars on the road when Obama is here.....

But it was all shown on tv on all the channels, including CNN, the channel I could watch due to reception had picture but no sound...I'm not sure why...no one commentating on whose and he was shaking or even background music, just picture.

But the Air Force One flew in around 9pm and the whole family stepped off the plane and shook about 100 people's hands before getting in their cars and driving off.

The next day all the papers were obsessed with his visit, most hadn't even taken their own photos, just taken from international agencies, not even buying them as you could still see the water mark thing on the photo!

His speech was also televised but I missed and then was away so don't know what he said yet...

But I am pretty sure I saw his helicopters on the way to Cape Coast castle as I was travelling on the road in that direction, so I did see a fraction of Obama!

And sorry no photos that I got to take of him.....
