The Adventures of Rose. A world tour with intrepid traveller Rose. Laugh, cry, challenge assumptions. Come along on my journey. A new adventure commences. I'm restarting my blog because I just got the news that I've been waiting for since November 2011. I will be appointed as a Foreign Service Officer with the US Department of State on June 30th! I am overflowing with joy, tempered by sadness for what I will be leaving behind. Stay tuned for updates, pictures, and stories! To The UNITE Foundation.

The Adventures of Rose. A world tour with intrepid traveller Rose. Laugh, cry, challenge assumptions. Come along on my journey. Don't forget it's daylight savings today. You should put your clock forward one hour. Hopefully we can absorb the "yuck" of that lost hour of sleep today and going in to work tomorrow won't be too bad. This makes me feel better about taking on the crazy challenge of 10 miles on April 21st. Anyway - here's a video. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). To The UNITE Foundation. It’s G...

http://theadventuresofrose.blogspot.com/2015/03/camp-unite-in-arabic.html
The Adventures of Rose. A world tour with intrepid traveller Rose. Laugh, cry, challenge assumptions. Come along on my journey. Camp UNITE . in Arabic. In class, we've been working on short presentations on health, the environment, and education for the past few weeks. So one of my chosen topics was Camp UNITE. I recorded myself and added some photos from past years in order to make it more interesting. and voila! It's the effort that counts, right? My apologies to anyone who actually speaks Arabic!

The Adventures of Rose: August 2015
http://theadventuresofrose.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Rose. A world tour with intrepid traveller Rose. Laugh, cry, challenge assumptions. Come along on my journey. I arrived in Beirut during the month of Ramadan. A Muslim religious celebration that includes strict fasting from dawn to dusk - from not only food, but from anything that passes the lips including water or even cigarettes. Once the sun has set and evening prayers have been said, families and communities host huge meals called Iftar. That recreated the beauty of the Old Souks.

The Adventures of Rose: Commuting by bike

The Adventures of Rose. A world tour with intrepid traveller Rose. Laugh, cry, challenge assumptions. Come along on my journey. One of the best choices I made this summer was finally signing up for Capital Bikeshare. I have started cycling to work at least three times a week and I love it. I'm planning to try out my planned path from home to FSI next weekend; it should be interesting to see how easy/tough it is! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). To The UNITE Foundation.

The Adventures of Rose: One month in Beirut
http://theadventuresofrose.blogspot.com/2015/07/one-month-in-beirut.html
The Adventures of Rose. A world tour with intrepid traveller Rose. Laugh, cry, challenge assumptions. Come along on my journey. One month in Beirut. It's been nearly a month in Beirut now. I've already gone on a couple of adventures - excursions organized by the CLO (Community Liaison Officer). I'm hoping to go on at least two every month and explore as many corners of this beautiful country as I can. Our first stop on our adventure a few weeks ago was the teleferique. But we made it! One month in Beirut.

http://theadventuresofrose.blogspot.com/2014/10/i-am-rose.html
The Adventures of Rose. A world tour with intrepid traveller Rose. Laugh, cry, challenge assumptions. Come along on my journey. I am Rose, but in Arabic you can call me Werda (that's the translation into Arabic transliterated into English). Werda in the elevator (with bike helmet). I was going to write a post about Arabic class but tonight I'm actually much more excited about the fact that just survived my very first night time urban bike ride. Tried to take a pic with flash - this is what I got! View my...

The Adventures of Rose. A world tour with intrepid traveller Rose. Laugh, cry, challenge assumptions. Come along on my journey. Playing "Pin the Rose on the Map". My brilliant former co-workers arranged a game at my going away party. Pin the Rose on the Map". For those of you who have never clutched a donkey tail. In your hands, secretly dreading you were going to walk right into a tree, the basic play is:. You take a sticker. Your friends (tormentors) spin you around in a circle three times. But, I've a...
