Liberia's President Visits Ship

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberia's president and Africa's only female president, visited the Mercy Ships today.

I caught a hazy picture of her entourage arriving (the humidity caused cameras to fog instantly when going outdoors).

Here she is ascending the gangway (she is in blue).

A closer shot. Madame Sirleaf left after giving a short speech as she is expecting George W. Bush's visit on Thursday.

A cropped shot.

Left on the dock are heavily armed UN soldiers and her Nigerian body guards. Oh, and that kooky face in the upper right is my good friend, Andrea, from Germany.
