Visiting a coffee plantation during training with the lovely Elvira, our Spanish/culture instructor. 
The swearing-in ceremony at the Ambassador's residence (I took the same oath as the military, foreign service and more or less the president)I, Samantha Boss do solemly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, domestic or foreign, that I take this obligation freely. And without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. And that I will well and faithfully discharge my duties in the Peace Corps, so help me God.

Our swear-in ceremony and celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Peace Corps made it on the front page of Prensa Libre (Guate's leading paper)... no biggie

The picture in the market (I think) is so filled with bright colors. I loved it especially blown up.
Wow, front page! Are you quoted?
We were all hoping Nelson Mandela would show up for our swearing in. I guess he has more important things to do, like end poverty or something.
