The dawn of a new day in more ways than one! Early morning walk past the now-familiar campground, Mayan ruins, and the guy who sells tacos out of his car trunk. We had figured out how to watch live streaming video online of the inauguration --- but then we almost missed the start because we forgot the 1-hour time difference! Another surreal, unlikely experience as we sat in our room in Mexico in January, watching a computer image of an African-American become the President of the United States.
Like much of the world, I have been in the depths of despair for 8 years, watching that now-departed clueless moron wreck havoc on his own country and the rest of the globe. But that despair vanishes as Barack Obama can actually speak in sentences that not only make sense grammatically but also inspire hope and respect. It was a Monumental Moment for the USA, a High Hope Hour for the world. Now the hard work and hard decisions start, but this man seems pre-ordained for the task. We wish him good luck, wisdom, and a long life.
