Hillary and Bill dine together at Colombian steakhouse

Turns out that Secretary Clinton wasn’t the only Clinton in Colombia yesterday. Husband Bill Clinton, a former U.S. president, was also in the country for work related to his charitable activities, including a meeting with President Alvaro Uribe on reconstruction of earthquake-devastated Haiti. (Above, Bill Clinton views some handicrafts that are part of a program supported by the Clinton Foundation.)

For dinner yesterday, the Clintons and some friends dined at a steakhouse in Bogotá that would have been too risky to eat at just a few years ago because of the possibility of violence or kidnapping. Secretary Clinton, in a news conference with Uribe, said  the meal was "wonderful," and added, "We talked about how remarkable it was that such a common event could take place."

Uribe said the dining experience was great PR for his country, which is trying to overcome a reputation of being filled with drug violence: "The best PR for confidence in Colombia is that last night Madame Secretary of State of the United States and President Bill Clinton were in a restaurant enjoying complete piece of mind, enjoying this beautiful city."
