Sitting here in Fanueil Hall, Boston waiting for the oath ceremony to begin.

A bit different than standing across the street from the Consulate on interview day.

Congratulations.

On my own Naturalization Day years ago, The Los Angeles Convention Center was also hosting Adultcon - the porn convention - and there were porn stars waiting to cross the street with us to get to the convention center. And on the way home to orange County, the northbound 405 was shut down due to a freeway shooting. It was quite an exciting welcome to US citizenship :)
