Michael was officially sworn in as a Peace Corps VOLUNTEER today! What a great day for him!
He spent celebratory time eating burgers with his fellow volunteers and spent time at the US Ambassador's home with the Ambassador. Apparently the US Ambassador had a previous acquaintance with a Peace Corps Volunteer who became a Foreign Service Officer and was from Holland Michigan, so they talked about that a bit.
For the remainder of the week, Michael will travel to the coast to buy everything he needs to furnish his house....bed, table and chairs, etc. and get settled into his house near the National Park where he will be working. He is learning a bit more about his job now, and, as he describes it, "I am going to be doing almost the same work as I did at Walter's Gardens except with trees!"
He said the next time he gets near internet access he will download his latest blogpost...which he says is FOUR pages long! So if you see a post from him soon, put your feet up and grab a beverage. Happy reading!
