Today was supposed to be my big day of leaving the U.S. and flying away! However, plans change, as they usually do with this job and I'm staying in DC for the rest of the week and flying out next weekend. A week in a hotel, not my idea of barrels of fun, but there are a few bonuses for sticking around a week...
However, yesterday I met and had lunch with Kurdistan's minister of Foreign Affairs, who I will eventually be working for. He is a gracious, practical, and hard working man and I'm very excited to work with him in the future. We had lunch at Capital Grille, wow it was nice! Definitely a meal I could not afford on my own! The wine was perfect, the steak was excellent and the sorbet was one of the best I've ever had! Can't get used to meals like that, but it was nice to experience it!
Just found out that one of my dogs, Penny Lane has been very sad since I left and keeps hiding under my bed. Poor puppy I wish I could take her with me, when I come back for Joey's wedding in October the real puppies will have gone to their new homes. I can't wait until I stay in the US long enough to live in my house and have my own dog!
If you're in DC give me a buzz I'll be around all week, with not much to do!
