Hillary Clinton Visit


My first posting in almost 2 months and it's about Hillary's visit to Thailand... I know, I know, but there's just so much to cover that I decided to write about the first thing I pulled out of the hat.

We got up bright and early Wednesday morning and headed over to the Conrad hotel for a meet-n-greet with Secratary of State Hillary Clinton. The boys looked so handsome in their business attire. We sat around for about two hours before she made her grand entrance. She loves babies and wanted pictures of her and the Embassy kids so Lukie and Micah got to sit on the stage the whole time. As you can see from the picasa pictures they were just thrilled :-) Btw, you can see all our pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/tinakuligowski.

The Community Liason Office (aka CLO) tried to entertain us with knock-knock and "why did the chicken cross the road" jokes while we waited, but that went over like a lead balloon. Once Hillary made her entrance she talked for about 10 minutes, took some picture with the kids and then walked down the greeting line and shook hands with as many of the Embassy staff who were able to crowd up to the tape line... unfortunately, I was not one of those people.
