That Darn Spider!


Anderson Cooper |
AC360° Anchor

@andersoncooper: just interviewed the President. We walked around Cape Coast Castle with him, it’s a former dungeon for slaves heading to America.

@andersoncooper: we walked through the “door of no return,” the portal thru which slaves were sent to the New World. Talked about the …

@andersoncooper: ….impact of it on him and his family. Outside hundreds have gathered to get a glimpse of Obama….

@andersoncooper: playing endlessly, everywhere, is a ghana hi-life song “Bar-ack, Bar-ack. Bar-ack O-Bama.” It’s by a band “Black Rasta”..

@andersoncooper: ..its one of those songs that’s catchy at first, but gradually drives you insane..like 99 Luftballoons. Remember that one?

@andersoncooper: forgot to mention. During the night I got bitten by something on my left eyelid.. Maybe a spider. When I awoke, my eyelid was ….

@andersoncooper: my eyelid had swollen nearly shut. Not the kind of thing you want to have happen before interviewing the President…

@andersoncooper: In my mind I looked like Sylvester Stallone in “Rocky”. In reality i looked more like Mathew Broderick in the movie “Election.”

@andersoncooper: luckily, by the time the President arrived it had gone down significantly. “Not so bad,” he said to me as he sat down.

@andersoncooper: now its nearly back to normal..still a little swollen. I took a picture for the ac360.com blog. I’m about to go to bed.

@andersoncooper: I think I’m going to sleep with the lights on.

The “door of no return.” Slaves would exit this door and board ships bound for the western hemisphere.

The castle was fortified from attack.
