Good Morning, Mr. Ambassador


A few weeks ago, the US Ambassador to NewZealand/Samoa, Charles Swindell, visited the US Consulate to bid farewell to his Auckland staff. The ambassador's term had come to an end and he was preparing to return home to Oregon. He and his wife Caroline are incredibly kind and humble people and I had the opportunity to speak to both of them briefly. Here is a picture of them on their last day in Auckland. From left to right: Lisa (my boss), Michelle (Lisa's friend), Mrs. Swindell, Ambassador Swindell, and moi.
