Inauguration Day Celebration!

I am hopeful, I am amazed that it happened; tears came to my eyes when I watched history being made.


Everyone celebrated, everyone toasted, some with Victoria Beer, to the Inauguration of Barack Obama!

Our group from Chicago was especially excited! They wanted to get their photo next to Obama on the TV, but we found it hard to all get to the TV when he was on the screen, so here are a few from the group.

Here are some ladies that were fortunate enough to have Obama shirts!

Meanwhile, the staff worked diligently in the office, making sure our work got done that day.

It was a fun week with the group from Chicago. They were interested, interesting, prayerful, fun, and open to the experience. They visited indigenous villages, met with community leaders, met local artisians, explored our city, and much more. On their last day, they gave a presentation, which summed up the experiences and information they learned while they were here. One group gave a moving performance of what it woud be like to be a farming family that was forced off their land due to the build up of effects from NAFTA.

Each group member brought something beautiful to the experience of being with them, I am so glad they came!
