So I am an official Peace Corps Volunteer as of last Wednesday. The swearing in ceremony was at the Governor General's house in Belmopan. The Ambassador was there to speak and congratulate the group. After the swearing in ceremony we had a lee bash (kriol for little party) and I had a great time. The party consisted of a slide show, eating at a nice indian restaurant, Peace Corps superlatives in which i took home two: Best Friends For Life: Jake Hafkin and Chris Weiss otherwise known as "the jizz" all credit goes to Julie for the nickname, and Favorite Republican (i am one of 4 conservatives in the group).
On Thursday I decided to go up to Dangriga to stay with Julie for the night and we met up with Abby and Joel for dinner and red wine (which costs about $40 a bottle down here). On Friday we left for Placencia where we had our swearing in/Halloween party. One of the best four days i have had in a long time, to say the least. A common phrase used throughout the weekend: "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world right now."
