On Sunday we went for a drive past all of the foriegn embassies. Most countries have a building or series of buildings for thier diplomat and offices. We were able to drive by the embassies although we were carefully watched by Australian Police in bright orange cars! This is the United States Embassy. It was all Georgian architecture (it looked like Miami U.) It was by far the largest compound and it did have the most security. Although Germany and China were a close second.
By contrast is Canada's embassy. Like some other countries, it had no fence or security. Sam and Alex actually roamed around on the lawn. Alex, Shaun, Emma, and Kait pose for the photo and Sam is looking for maple leafs on the ground.
The buildings and the grounds were an expression of each country. They were just beautiful. We only got out at Canada first and then the US. By then, we felt it was best to stay in our cars and just drive past. We were the only tourists there on a Sunday morning, so all eyes were on us. John was sure his FBI/Marine Corp file had been pulled and checked as we left the area.
