| Description | ALGIERS, Algeria — A chorus of celebratory wails rained down on Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean as she strolled the cobblestone streets of the ancient casbah on her first day in Africa.
It was one of several memorable scenes as Jean kicked off a three-week state visit that is her first as governor general and also her first trip to her ancestral continent.
"Since my appointment (as governor general) I had this dream," Jean said Sunday. "I was hoping that my first state visits would be in Africa. You can sense the warmth of the people, and the beauty."
"I can’t explain it but I feel like I’m home here." |
