At the Swearing In ceremony we were all issued official Peace Corps Armenia pins. In the hussle and bussle of the ceremony, I didn't look very carefully at the card stock it came on. I just put the pin on my lapel and then packed it up again at the end of the ceremony. But today, as we unpacked the last few things we still had in our luggage, Sam took a closer look at the pins, and noticed an unlikely coincidence:
The pins are from Providence. I checked the company's website, and it looks like they're located just down the road from Rhode Island Hospital where I used to work. It's nice to thing that the pins and I have made the same unlikely journey. It's like being given a little piece of home to carry around with me.
