This is a Drill... The Embassy is Under Attack

Yesterday we were at the US Embassy applying for Nathanael's citizenship and passport when the alarms go off and the guards start rolling down the steal doors. After several minutes of this a voice comes on and repeats over and over, "This is a drill. Duck and Cover! The Embassy is under attack! Get away from the windows!"

So we sat down and waited for the hypothetic people to stop hypothetically attacking the embassy, the guards to stop guarding all the steal doors, and all the workers to get out of their safe room.

I think that was a first for me. I've never been locked in my own embassy. Interesting.

Once all the fun subsided we got all of Nathanael's paperwork in. They assured us that it would be between 1 and 2 weeks to have everything thing done. That's nice. 2 weeks is the day before we leave. It would be nice if it came in by then so Nathanael could go with us you know.

I bet he could make it on his own... it'd be a great way to grow up.
