Last night banquet

It was an amazing last night at the Fulbright sendoff in Washington DC. We had a last night banquet and then all of the countries to which American teachers are traveling to and who are sending teachers to the states each got on stage and did a cultural representation of their countries. There were teachers from Peru, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Latvia, France, Senegal, Poland, Columbia, Mexico, India, Turkey and of course the United Kingdom. I am also pround that my daughter Monique and my exchange partner's daughter Robyn and their new cadre of friends from around the world got on stage and gave the crowd a huge awwwwww with their insightful ideas on what they will experience and how much they have all enjoyed becoming friends in such a short time. In three short days I have had invitations to visit France, Hungary, Bosnia, Turkey, Croatia, Belgium and all over the United Kingdom. I plan on taking as many of these wonderful people up on their offers as possible. I am adding a picture of Jane and her daughter Robyn so that all of my colleagues can see their new mate and my parents will know who to pick up at the airport. Her husband Christopher is not coming for a couple of weeks and will be picking us up at the Edinburgh airport. Also, I fully expect all of my former students from last year to go and introduce yourself and make Ms. Bonnar feel welcome. I am also adding a picture one of the Scotsmen, Robin, who wore his kilt to the banquet. As my partner said "you can't look bad in a kilt" so Mr. Peronto might get his wish of a picture of me in a kilt. I will probably be proving Jane wrong as I can make anything look bad.
