Given the distances between NY, Colorado and Washington (even with a private plane) I suspect if they did go skiing in Colorado for the weekend, they did so only because they were invited by some important persons in the US and went for networking / diplomatic purposes.

Having communted between NYC and Colorado for a few years, I can attest to it being a long flight. Weather was nicer this weekend on the East coast than it was here in Colorado. I'm excited for pictures from the White House dinner.

article about the JRF meeting yesterday:

Queen Rania meets influential women in US

Washington, March 4 (Petra) -- As Founder and Chairperson of the Jordan River Foundation (JRF), Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah did not miss the opportunity to highlight the foundation’s achievements to a gathering of influential women in Washington, DC, on Monday, where she discussed many of the foundations specific initiatives and encouraged their involvement.

At a luncheon hosted by JRF USA board members Beth Dozoretz and Pat Mitchell, Queen Rania spoke about her personal investments in the foundation. “I launched and have supported JRF for over 13 years now… because it’s all about giving a helping hand to the ordinary people of Jordan who want to work and provide for their families, who want to contribute to the development of their communities, and who want a chance to prove and improve themselves,” she said.

Apparently there is an interview with the king coming up tomorrow (Thursday 3/6/08) on NPR which can be accessed via the web at NPR : National Public Radio : News & Analysis, World, US, Music & Arts. I couldn't find anything on the article on the npr main site, but my local site had the heads up

Thanks for the articles and photos.

I had thought this visit was going to be quite dull after the incredibly slow start but things have certainly picked up this week.

Rania's looked great so far. I think it's great that she promotes organisations like the JRF when she is abroad.

I'm so over the belt over jacket, belt over shirt, belt over...so over done by Rania. She's been wearing this look for sooo many years now. Try something different please. I also would love it if she cut her hair. Gray is not her color, but she sure looks better in black AND white! I LOVER her in white. I wonder what colors she'll parade this Spring and Summer.

I too dislike the belt with everything look and her hair would be so elegant if it were shorter, maybe just past shoulders like she had before which was nice. She is not 16 year old girl anymore and the very long hair drags her features down. She looked so much fresher when she wears it up like in Morocco visit
