I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to travel widely in my life, and few places rival the natural beauty of Palau’s Rock Islands. Every turn of the boat revealed incredible vistas of unspoiled green islands in a pristine blue sea. The underwater vistas were just as remarkable, from tropical fish in the lagoon to millions of stingless jellyfish in a remote saltwater lake. Thanks to the government and the great people of Palau for their warm hospitality! 🇺🇸🤝🇵🇼

The steel pan (or steel drum) is an iconic instrument invented in Trinidad and Tobago in the 1930s from old oil drums. One of the real joys of my recent visit to that country was learning about the instrument’s history and experiencing a steel band recital. Different pans represent different instruments in an orchestra (cello, guitar, etc.) and each pan can play multiple notes. Different groups both practice and compete at the adult and junior levels, and I’m grateful to the Shell Invaders for putting on a great show! 🇺🇸🤝🇹🇹

Among my favorite times of the year is cherry season in late June/early July. For a few glorious weeks every year, cherries are plentiful, inexpensive, and delicious. Caroline even bought a little plastic contraption to remove the pits. I didn’t grow up with cherries, so for me they’re still a delicacy. 🍒

You had to know that President Donald J. Trump Donald J. Trump was going to pull out all the stops for the fireworks show last night on the Mall, and it was glorious. Caroline, Julia, and I were honored to join Secretary Marco Rubio at a reception for the foreign diplomatic corps at the Department of State, where we had an amazing view overlooking the Lincoln Memorial. Happy birthday USA! 🇺🇸

Had an amazing lunch today with a group of young Kenyan leaders who introduced me to one of their iconic national dishes. Does anyone recognize it?

I love the solemnity of the Oath of Office, and swearing unto God to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. And obviously the impact is magnified when it’s administered by my former boss Justice Thomas, whose rich and sonorous voice could have secured a career as a voice actor in Hollywood. 🇺🇸

Few things make me happier when traveling than trying local street foods. Although I didn’t have time to hit the actual streets during my recent visit to Cairo, I found an amazing variety of local dishes at a restaurant in the new Grand Egyptian Museum. From fresh baked breads to mezze to lamb to fresh sugar cane juice, I’m a big fan of this traditional cuisine! 🇺🇸🤝🇪🇬

No trip to La Paz, Bolivia 🇧🇴 is complete without a visit to the Witches’ Market downtown, where indigenous women sell herbal remedies, amulets, and good luck charms — including animal fetuses! Was very moved that a group of young participants in an Embassy-sponsored English language program put on a show for our delegation.
