Let our new life begin!

Al and Sofia got here this week! Yeah! I can not be more excited! They made it safely on Thursday evening after a couple of days of focused driving on Al's part. The apartment is full of boxes and we have lots of work to do, but it is worth it just to have my family together.


We spent some time doing Washington DC stuff yesterday and had a lot of fun. We toured several of the foreign embassies during the Around the World Embassy Tour. In one afternoon we toured the globe stopping in... 

BOTSWANA

So for anyone who was around us before I actually came to Washington DC, you know that our running joke was that we were going to end up in Botswana. Well, I guess we did, in a way. By the way, Alberto ate a massive worm during the tasting of the "delicacies" from Botswana. It was really large and honestly, it was pretty disgusting. He told me that he was facing his fears. He tells me that it was basically like the caterpillar from Alice and Wonderland. Yuck!


Up next, we toured past Trinidad and Tobago and then on to Peru. Sofia posed for a couple of pictures and they are really cute.

After the photo op with the llama and her mama, we toured the art exhibit in the Peruvian embassy. Alberto found a distant relative.

So although at this point we have been to Africa, the Caribbean and to South America, we aren't done yet. Up next, we headed down under to tour Australia.

It was interesting and we got to see this guy playing a didgeridoo (sp?)...

Finally, where could we finish our tour of the world but....

YEAH!!!!

MEXICO

So all in all, our tour of the world was excellent. We saw lots of places and ate some interesting things. Sofia was a trouper, letting the grown-ups do some pretty boring stuff, even though she said that she had a little fun. So we decided to take her to do something fun, just for her.

It was a great day and I am looking forward to sharing our new adventure with you, now that we are finally together again.


a bientôt...This is French for Until next time. BTW, they speak French in Camaroon.
