Who was here?!?!
Here is what living in the overseas ex-pat world is like. We could not go to eat at the compound restaurant because it was closed for a “special guest”. Then we remembered that Jimmy Carter’s, yes, that Jimmy Carter, son lives on the compound when he is in Saudi on business.
Sure enough last night and this morning there were Former President sightings galore. So tonight we went for a walk past his son’s villa to see if we could catch a glimpse of him; I also happened to be carrying a copy of his recent book, you know, just in case. Unfortunately as we came closer it was evident the President would not be outside as there were several armed Saudi soldiers, Police cars and a few Secret Service vehicles and agents about. I don’t know who he was having dinner with, but they must have been important.
While there was no autograph…perhaps the kids and I will go for a walk early as that is when the President seems to be out and about…and none of the history teachers have yet to spot him it is still pretty exciting. I can’t imagine that happening in dreary old Loveland.
