Benjamin Franklin Library in Mexico City, November 2008
Sitting in my pajamas from 8:30 am mountain time until about 1, I was entranced in the online coverage of the inauguration. Being away brings so much more significance to these events for me. That, combined with the fact that I knew what I was talking about this go round. I was so emotional and proud of our country and filled with hope. I was glued to my tiny computer screen. I decided at 1 that I would venture out to the mall for some Inauguration Day shopping (what better way to celebrate?!) and lunch. I found lots of things at Zara, as usual. I was bummed to find some of the things I bought before Christmas seriously marked down. After my shopping spree, I got some sushi, and cuddled up (can you cuddle up in a mall- well, the teenagers can, but bear with me) with my raw salmon (YUM!), soy sauce, coca light, iPod and Blink. I spent about 3 hours at the mall, sporting my Obama shirt of course. It was a great day to take off from school. It's going to take time; how much? Who knows. But this I do know:Yes.
We.
Can.
