President John Agyekum Kufuor gestures as he speaks to U.S. first lady Laura Bush at Christianborg Castle in Accra, Ghana January 17, 2006. The pair and other dignitaries had lunch at the seaside castle which was built by Swedes in 1652 and had a history involving the slave trade before becoming the current seat of government in Ghana.
Laura Bush is on the first leg of a three-nation trip to Africa. She led a contingent from the United States to Liberia on Monday to witness the inauguration of the first woman president in an African country, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf.
