mama in SOUTH AFRICA!!! ...she did not take me!

mama went climbing lion´s head mountain with some new friends she met at the conference. she said they are very nice and talented and hillarious. she went with the ecowas brothers uche and emeka and with capetownian dave.
it was a bit chilly so mama had to wear her pink pijamas (a fashion disaster!)

obama was also there (in spirit):
