MAY 10

Oh goodness, now how did I forget to mention the Ambassador’s Ball in my last post? This event took place the third last night before Hawaii. It was a formal supper and dance event that everyone has been looking forward to for a large portion of the trip, and the reason why so many people had suits and dresses made in Vietnam. The committee in charge of this worked very hard to decorate and organize for our theme: Oh, the Places We’ve Been. The menu included numerous dishes from the countries we’d just visited, like sushi for Japan and a spinach cheese dish with naan for India, and they had set up different themed areas to represent those countries for pictures. Dessert included a giant chocolate Taj Mahal. That was a great night.

That’s it for now…I’m supposed to be writing my take-home Music final. Ah, it’ll never cease to amaze me how, even without Internet and a television, there are still so many ways to procrastinate!

For anybody who is still checking this site…this will be my last post. As all of you know, I’m back at home, safe and sound. Mom and Dad came to San Diego to pick me up – let’s just say it was a good thing they brought extra bags! What can I say? They were mostly filled with presents for the family.

Thanks for reading!
