Our Embassy Visit

Along with everyone else in our program, we were invited to the U.S. Embassy this morning to meet with the Ambassador, Joseph Mussomeli.  Of course, the kiddos chose this morning to sleep in, to not want to eat breakfast, to not want to get dressed, and to not want to walk down the stairs.  And, of course, I chose to go by memory and realized half way there I had no idea where the Embassy was.

But, we did make it and it was a very cool experience.  Ambassador Mussomeli and his staff members were very, very nice and went out of their way to make us feel appreciated (and "official").  They gave us a lot of great tips on things to do with the kids and to make life here easier with them.  The kiddos most enjoyed snack time and consumed a month's worth of cookies and brownies.  It was time to go once the ensuing sugar rush set in...

By the way, the woman holding Rosetta is Cindy, her "adopted" mom.
