American at Last!!!/El Americano!!!!

One of over 1600 people getting their citizenship today! We got in line to check in at 6:45 and the line was already on the second side of the huge city administrative building. By 9:30 we had entered, but the line wrapped around the entire building and up the street. Participants sat on the floor and guests sat up in the balcony.

David fue uno de 1600 personas que recibieron sus certificados hoy dia. Llegamos al edificio a 6:45 en la manana y a las 9:30 podemos entrar. La linea para entrar estaba por todos lados del edificio y en la calle. Los personas se sentaron en el bajo, y nosotros (Amy, Analeah, y Sofia) nos sentamos arriba. Here's David!
After the oath, the judge named all the countries in which participants were from. When each country was called, the participants stood up. Here is David when Ecuador was called. He was the only one that I saw stand up.

Despues de la ceramonia, el juicio, dijo todos los nombres del paises de los participantes. Cuando dijo "Ecuador", David, levanto de pie con su bandera! Pienso que el estaba la unica de Ecuador.
