Friday afternoon we had tea at the U.S. Embassy in Canberra and drove down Embassy row. The Embassies are designed to reflect each individual country's architecture - Each embassy was more beautiful than the next. The U.S. Embassy complex was designed to recreate the architecture of Williamsburgh, VA. We were heavily screened before entering - no cameras what-so-ever. We walked up the complex and passed trees planted by Eleanor Roosevelt, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, etc. We had Tea and hor deurves with William A. Stanton, the Charge d'Affaires, who will be leaving his post to serve in Soeul, Korea in two weeks time. We had a professional photographer available to us who took pictures to send to us later. That evening we went to a Scottish Caedleigh music and dance festival at the Australian Polish Club! Great music and food!
