There is one piece of news that I feel deserves it's own posting. I AM GOING TO MARCH IN OBAMA'S INAUGURATION PARADE! So excited!
Peace Corps secured a spot in the parade and held a lottery of those interested to chose parade participants and I GOT IT!!! I like to think of it as a combined xmas/birthday gift from the universe. (Thank you Universe!)
So, January 20th, I will be in DC, likely freezing to death as I stand outside going through the Secret Service security check and then walking past our new president carrying a flag representing one of the countries that Peace Corps Volunteers serve in. I have been told that they will be handed out randomly, but I am hoping to be able to trade for Costa Rica or El Salvador. If not, I'll get over it. The real bummer is that we are not allowed to carry cameras. That's very disappointing, but I suppose I will just have to get over it.
Other tips for clearing security includes not carrying weapons, and specifically, "No joking about security or the screening process." I'll do my best.
Anyhoo... needless to say I am thrilled. It's an amazing honor.
