WATER FOR CHRISTMAS

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

YES. WE. CAN.

and did!

what a beautiful night it was in grant park. and everywhere in the country. and the world.

i got an email from each of my host parents this morning congratulating me, telling me how happy they were for our country. and theirs. and the whole world.
my host mom's email said this: (my translation):
"last night we saw the latest news from chicago, the people gathering in grant park, and we were commenting that our princess surely would be there, in the middle of the multitude. congratulations for the new president of the united states, we think from the bottom of our hearts that obama is going to do very well, not only for the united states but for the whole world. theres a breath of fresh air in international politics, and you can feel in his personality that he will help bring about a world more just, less discriminatory, more visionary, and more modern. we think there will be a 'before and after' in the united states after this election, even though it will be difficult to change this world to a more equal society, with equal opportunities for all."

beautiful, no?

and, finally, pictures!!!!

peace and hope to you!
