On Friday Nov 4, 2011 I had the privilege of meeting the USA ambassador Pamela Bridgewater for the official Peace Corps Swearing In Ceremony. It was an intimate ceremony with one other Peace Corps Response Volunteer. We met in Ambassador Bridgewater's office, where she took a few minutes to thank us for our service, welcome us to Jamaica and ask us if we had any thoughts. Then we continued with the reading of the official Peace Corps vows. Soon after I was put on a bus, destination Ocho Rios. I was on my own for the first time since arriving in country. Awaiting my arrival, in Ocho Rios , was my project partner, Oral Higgins. What a relief to get out of the capital and to the northern coast of Jamaica. Ya Mon! I hope you are all well. Laura
