Ladies and Gentlemen, our US ambassador to the Netherlands

No, I’m totally kidding.  But a couple of days ago, I visited a place called Adams House in Quincy.  It is the birthplace and later home of John Adams and John Quincy Adams (POTUS 2 and POTUS 6).  POTUS 2 couldn’t speak French, so at 10 years old, POTUS 6 learned French (and about a gazillion other languages) to help out his dad.  I wanted to take a photo of the drawing of the real John Quincy Adams when he was 10, but the US Parks Service threatened to take my citizenship away if I did that.  No, not really.  But through some interneting I found the picture I wanted.

So ladies and gentlemen, our US ambassador to the Netherlands:

Yup.  He was tiny and so is the painting.  But there you have it.
