Oh Say Can You See…

I met the US ambassador to the DR and his wife and a friend of mine and used his bathroom in his ambassador’s house. Marble. Silk. Water pressure. Super nice. The new group (there are 2 groups of volunteers each year) swore in the other day and I went, dressed in an Old Navy blue tank top, stretched out and sweaty, and a skirt I found in what’s called the “free box” which is a box where volunteers can give stuff to their other volunteers. I found it 2 minutes before the ceremony and it had a rip in it and it was white, black and pink, so I matched perfectly. I was so glad to be meeting the ambassador and stepping into his home, with his wife right there to watch, in that outfit and some flip flops. Side note: He doesn’t speak much Spanish. Also, the swearing-in ceremony was lovely.
