231st Marine Corps Birthday Ball

The Marine Security Guard Detachment at the embassy held their annual ball this past Saturday at the Hotel Bellevue Palace. It was our first ball. We had such a great time. (I even learned how to tie a bow tie since Aaron couldn't do it himself.)











It was hard to get pictures of my dinner, but I was determined. I had to turn off the flash so as not to disturb the rest of my table. What a great meal - and free drinks all night! (Those were the strongest gin and tonics I'd ever had.) Ooh, the best part - two desserts!
