We were fortunate to be able to meet the US Ambassador to Luxembourg in her home at the US Embassy. Ambassador Stroum (a Seattle native) is an amazing woman - philanthropist, business woman and passionate about raising funds globally for the fight against cancer. She explained a little known fact about US Ambassadors, too.... They are only permitted to leave their assigned contry for 26 days or less in a given year. In a nation of 998 square meters, even a trip to the grocery store may require crossing a border into France or Germany! Or, even Belgium! But, no complaints from the Ambassador because she gets to do great work on behalf of our country. The photos below are of Luxembourg and the US Embassy.
That is so interesting!
