Today we did a whole lot of nothing yet again. Katie has been having meltdowns, so we stayed in the hotel most of the day. At 3:00 Sarah and I and 54 other familes took White Swan busses (much like Greyhound busses) to the US Consulate to take our oaths. We were told very important VIPS were going to be there today. When we got there, we found out it was Karen Hughes, Under Secretary, Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, and Michelle Kwan, the ice skater. Kwan is America's first "Public Diplomacy Envoy," a position created to try to improve the U.S. image abroad. They both spoke to us and then took pictures with many of the families. We were chit chatting with Michelle Kwan when Michelle reached out towards Sarah. Sarah, acting very Sarah-like, hit her. Funny. We definitely need to work on not hitting. After we got back, we went to Lucy's to eat dinner and now we are relaxing in the hotel room. Tomorrow we will get Sarah's VISA and go shopping near the hotel. Wednesday we will return home.
