USA Day!

We voted today! The embassy had a really nice event for absentee voters with food, music, and a speech by the US Ambassador. And, of course, they served Starbucks coffee! Our Washington, DC absentee ballots haven't arrived to our apartment - no surprise there - so we had to complete a federal write-in ballot. It was a lot of fun being there at the embassy and we got there before the line became over an hour long wait.

Funny thing, we were feeling so "American" that we did something we swore we wouldn't do. We left the embassy and we ate at McDonald's! The quarter pounder with cheese burgers were actually really good...and we saw tons of other Americans there who had just left the embassy, which made us laugh. The McDonald's fries never taste the same outside the US but the burgers were really close to the real thing. Can't wait until November 4!
