The Harmonica ... this will be it for a while. Perhaps forever.
This morning we all dressed up and went over the the Ambassador's sweet pad to get sworn in as volunteers. There was a trampoline to jump on in the perfect sun, although you'd be amazed how winded you get jumping on a trampoline at 10,000 feet. There were moustaches too, but because the internet is really slow here at HQ today you'll have to wait and see what I mean by that. Believe me, the wait will be worth it.
