Today, Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt is back in town. He first had a meeting in Jerusalem with this Israeli counterpart. Then he continued to Ramallah for a meeting with the Palestinian foreign minister. There, I was waiting for him. Or, I should have been. Chaotic traffic, an accident that blocked the road and a flying checkpoint all delayed me.

But I was lucky, and arrived just a minute before the press conference started. Got some photos and then hurried home again to transfer them to Scanpix, the Swedish news photo agency I sometimes work for.
