Some weeks are routine, beautiful Mediterranean weather, but last week the boss came. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spent six hours here in Algiers. I was assigned to her motorcade for the day. What a wild ride both figuratively and literally. I was at the airport for her arrival and there for the departure and all point in between. I shook her hand at the embassy and ate dinner (separate staff area) at the Algerian Palace. The day was exhausting and I can not imagine how she keeps that pace. We were stop 3 of 4 and she moves non stop. Here are a few pictures.
