State Visit
18 October 2003

Waiting....	And still waiting....
He's arrived!  On the left are Dr. Ricciardone, Mrs.Bush and Ambassador Ricciardone
The President's 5 Minute Speech	The entourage.  The only one I recognize is Condoleezza Rice.
I don't think Rebecca believes the message of support from Mr. Bush.	The mob trying to shake his hand.  We did not battle our way through. Instead we stayed put and got a good photo of the First Lady. But no handshake.
Trying to stay cool in some shade, while waiting for the shuttle	Burning off energy after sitting around for 2 1/2 hours.
Roxas boulevard in front of the Embassy.  Usually swarming with buses and taxis.
On the other side of the city, Katherine (middle) at Malacanang Palace with her schoomates, all in ISM uniforms.	They were part of the welcoming line-up on the side, waving flags and cheering wildly.
The highlight of the day, Mrs. Laura Bush stops to sign Katherine's Mini Page from the Washington Post, that featured... her!
