Condi visits Delhi!

On her somewhat sudden visit to New Delhi promoting solidarity between the US and India, Secretary Rice was gracious enough to devote a few minutes of her time to Embassy personnel and their families. She spoke outside the Ambassadors Residence to about 100 plus Americans and Indian hires. After a brief speech regarding India and terrorism she then stepped down to the awaiting crowd and shook hands and took a few photos.

It's unfortunate that, after two years of Richard being on her personal protection detail I had to come all the way to India to see her up close and personal. But however and wherever it happened I am still grateful for the oppurtunity all the same!

Mo was ecstatic about not only seeing her, but getting to take a picture with her (heck, even I was pretty chuffed about doing that myself!). She has been some what of a role model for Mo ever since she had to write a school report about her way back in 3rd grade.

Richard of course was doing security during the visit so we haven't seen much of him for the last 3 days, but I did get a few snap shots just to show the kids, "Yes that is too your Daddy!"


The white haired guy in some of the pics is the US Ambassador to India, Ambassador Mulford. Not as exciting as the Secretary, as we see him a bit more often but still a great photo op for Mo. She will have an amazing photo album to share with her children some day.

Why is Big T not pictured with the Secretary you ask? I think he was worried that she might not have withstood the aura of his 'coolness'...he is almost 17, need I say more?
