More Photos: Secretary Clinton at Inauguration Day in Uruguay

Earlier today, as I was able to grab a few minutes here and there, I posted a series of pictures from Secretary Clinton's day in Uruguay. Well, there was a plethora of pictures from today by the time I got home, so these are some more I want to share.

Here she is arriving in Montevideo. When she travels, I really like to have the obligatory arrival picture. She has a way of walking down those steps.

She also has a way of walking the tarmac..
This next series show her with outgoing Uruguayan President Tabare Vaquez. I love their greeting.





She also met with the President of Paraguay, Fernando Lugo.




She attended the inauguration at the Legialative Palace.

Originally, she was also supposed to meet with Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in Uruguay and then to leave after the inauguration for Chile, however, those plans changed today. Instead of meeting with Kirchner in Uruguay, and instead of going directly to Chile, she flew, instead to Buenos Aires, and was received by Kirchner there. (Upcoming separate post on this because there's just more history to that than I want to handle in this post.) She will visit Chile tomorrow. Apparently that stop has been attenuated to some extent, but she certainly will meet with President Michelle Bachelet and President-elect Sebastian Pinera.

So this afternoon, she boarded her Hillforce One for the short hop to B.A. (Ohhhh! I wish I were there. Someday, I HAVE to go to Argentina!)

Upcoming: Hillary with Cristina at the Casa Rosada.
