So, today we were sworn in at the Ambassador’s house. The
ceremony was pretty short. We sang both national anthems and performed our
Kiswahili version of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.
There was also a cake cutting ceremony. Apparently all the staff members
particularly enjoyed my bobbing/whistling/singing according to PJ. There was
some sort of group discussion about it…
I couldn’t see most of the ceremony because the
photographers/videographers stood in front of us and took pictures of people at
the podium the entire time. I took some photos of the people taking photos
because I thought it was funny. Then we all took a bunch of photos together and
subsequently got escorted quickly back to the PC Office. We had lunch (well
other people did, I haven’t been able to really eat anything for the past three
days. I had 3 bites of rice and a couple cucumber strips. I’m not sure what’s
wrong. The doctor had no real advice) and then came back here after finding out
our travel plans. We are leaving at 4:30 in the morning, but everything must be
packed and loaded on the vans tonight. That’s my next big task!
