Matching Armchairs Achieved!

Wow, and she just barely got there! So, basically, the rest of the trip is just gravy. Congrats, Condi!

So bring on the nightlife, already! Will it be a formal to-do, or a private (heavens forbid) gathering? Will there be a classical concert or something more Hellenic? Stay tuned, because Princess Secretary's mad Greek escapade has just begun!

EDIT: Some Pony Pals™ have correctly pointed out that this photo-op doesn't follow Condi's matching armchairs standard (an ashtray is where the flower arrangement should be, no fireplace, etc.), but that's just exactly what makes her foreign travels so unpredictable and superfantastic!

OMG!!! Is that a floral arrangement on the table in the foreground? Somebody move it to where the ashtray & room service menu are, quick.

Maybe those floral pieces are always in the foreground and the photographer is in the wrong place?

Doesn't it look lke Abdullah is hiding a boner?

And I think Condi has seen it and is unimpressed, look how she turns her eyes away from him in disgust. Or maybe it's the floral-arrangement-gone-wrong that has her turning away in disgust...

How I wish the Turkish guy was a chain smoker who had that ashtray loaded with butts.
