Ambassador's Reception Night

The AIPES program includes a reception at the U.S. ambassador's historic art deco residence. Note that this is the residence, not the embassy itself. This is the back of the residence, which opens into a gorgeous garden.

It was a great party made even better by the fact that it was our 30th wedding anniversary. Our thanks to AIPES and to the U.S. embassy for throwing such a nice anniversary party for us! The ambassador, William Cabaniss, is charming, knowledgeable and hospitable. We first met him last year and he remains one of our favorite ambassadors.

One of the other guests was the Croatian ambassador to the Czech Republic. He was invited because the Croatian prime minister will be the graduation speaker later this week.

Other honored guests included Kirsten, Wendy and Mike.
