Interesting article. I always thought diplomats were fluffy what's the point ribbon cutters but seems like a lot of impt issues going on there. kudos to her.

A Boring Capital for a Young Democracy. Just the Way Residents Like It.

The British-designed capital, Belmopan, is bureaucratic and, some say, boring. Some in the city want it to stay that way.

www.nytimes.com

(Gifted article. The link will be valid for two weeks.)

Michelle Kwan, the United States ambassador to Belize and a decorated Olympic figure skater, said she had grown fond of Belmopan after relocating from Los Angeles. She compared life here to her days training in Lake Arrowhead, a small resort community in California’s San Bernardino Mountains, where she could “really focus on what I had to do.”

“It’s no different here,” Ms. Kwan said. “This is where we focus and where we work.”

The article includes a photograph of the Kwanbassador standing in what must be the embassy garden.

I could never get into her skating but she sounds like a remarkable woman! She seems to have not only the dedication and passion for the job but also a certain something that you can't learn. Just reading this article makes me feel good because I get the impression that she has found her place in life and is thriving.
I don't know if that's a job she'd want but one day, she might lead the department she now works for. If she wants it, I have a feeling she would be great at it!

Sorry didn't read it properly. She certainly looked like Kwan. It was a lovely triple toe.

I agree. She looks a lot like the Kween. I loved the triple toe and the spiral!

Haha if it was Michelle landing triples toes we would have people holding out hope for 2026 lol

Oh Lord have mercy. I'll be 74 years old! Honey hush, I'm gonna hang around for that!

Love Michelle forever.
I hope that Tara and Michelle can bury the hatchet.

Imagining the kooky opposition already screaming, "But her followers have declared her a Kween! America isn't an oligarchy!" Honestly surprised it didn't come up in her senate hearing for her ambassador post.
