Sunsets and Eva Cassidy

This is a sunset behind our apartment. Isn't it beautiful!!! We are lucky to get sunsets like this in Costa Rica. I am glad I caught it for a photo. Not much happening right now - just doing some chores and listening to Eva Cassidy. WOW!! What an artist! Google this lady. Sadly she passed away not too long ago at a very young age and the world is certainly no better for it. Gladly she did get some recording done before she passed.

Tomorrow is Inaguration Day!! I am very excited for America! I hope President Obama will be able to right some wrongs, actually lead the country and enpower the people to help make the changes which so desperately need to take place. It is exciting as well, to see and hear people of another country become excited about our new phase of Democracy. Ticos (Costa Ricans), and a few tourists from Europe whom I have had the pleasure of conversing with, have all expressed a great hope in the new leadership. Yes, the world does look to the U.S.A. for many reasons. We can be the prime example of determination, dedication, and compassion. It not only comes from the top, but from us, the regular people as well. I have seen this many times in my travels where the opinion of the United States is molded by the attitude and actions not only of the leaders, but of the regular traveler as they visit other countries.
Let us work together, not be so cynical about "Change" in our email forwards.
Finally a President the country is behind. A President who is fresh, has a good vision, a good plan and someone I feel is truly "for the people".
