On Sunday, Obama came to Prague to talk with the President and Prime Minister and give a speech at the Prague Castle. I was lucky to get a special pass through a friend and stood in the first row in front of the podium. Not only was Obama's speech brilliant, but he walked around the podium with his wife, Michelle, and there Obama walked past me shaking hands inches from me! I got to shake Michelle's hand as well as Mirek Topolanek, the Prime Minister of CZ (who actually just got a vote of no confidence). I had to wake up at 5am and got to the stage at 6:30am. Ece (my roommate) and I stood there until 10am waiting for his speech. During that time we listened to some good folk Czech music. What an amazing morning!
