I had to drive across that street every school day for five years and it was often the case. You had to make a huge detour. So it's not just Outtaro. This being said, I hope he will be good for the Ivory Coast. Africa could use a few more stable countries right now!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079274085194856593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166121082138218879.post-55619370268280268582012-01-30T10:48:26.241-08:002012-01-30T10:48:26.241-08:00The things you run into while out and about in Par...The things you run into while out and about in Paris. I've been following President Outtaro's story by podcast. I'm hoping he can help the Ivory Coast, but I'm not impressed with his trip down the Champs d'Elysses. Also, I'm reminded of London. The Mall was FULL of traffic just two days before the wedding. I spent the night before the wedding on it with thousands of others. The only vehicles were street sweepers, which I was told were probably security teams in disguise, and actual police vehicles. Until the Royal Procession, that is.Carrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10939833563649370264noreply@blogger.com
