big happenings in Liberia

We won't hear anything about passports today because the Chinese president is in Monrovia (the capital), and they've shut most of the streets down for the day. As a result, no one from the orphanage could make it to the passport office. The president of China is negotiating loans and business opportunities with President Ellen. You can read the story if you're interested in keeping up on world news (or pretending you do). President Ellen is one tough lady. It would be cool to meet her!
