inauguration

well I regret to say that I do not have photographs...i left my camera in the van, because I though that the stop at the soda in the mountains was just a pee break. However slowly everyone in the resturant, except for the drivers who were pretty excited about their rice and beans, started to turn to the tv. It slowly got louder, tourists from all over europe and the states stood silent, standing face forward as if pointing towards mecca. I exspected some people to start talking or move, at least some of the costa ricans, but no one said a thing, slowly people started taking pictures of the t.v. and muttering the words change and future in spanish. I though that I wouldn't even get to see obama sworn in, I had no idea it would be that interesting and powerful to see it outside of the states.
