Watching History

News outlets around the US reported the international interest in President Obama's inauguration on Tuesday. We were part of that international audience, watching the events unfold on CNN International from the MCC office here in Managua. While our sister, Emily, shivered and snapped photos of the crowds from right in front of the Washington Monument, we sipped fresh-squeezed orange juice and snapped photos of the televsion screen. Just in case you were wondering, "Where were we when...?"

I'm pretty sure mi sobrino would have been one big ice cube if ya'll had been here. love yous!
