Moving Day

On Saturday I got to watch the flag being raised over the new embassy for the first time. It was pretty cool.

Some press:

I disagree with the one below but it gives a good sense of some of the issues we had to deal with, and there are pictures:

The fact of the matter is the building was specifically designed to blend in with the other architecture on Pariser Platz and when you walk inside you actually see that it is quite open and inviting....

Anyway, you can see what I was busy with this past weekend.
