I don't have a laptop but I have a notepad. Some moments in life, nothing will keep me away from writing. As I finally switch on the TV, eager to see Obama's inauguration speech, live celebrations are still going on and no one wants to interrupt them. It is the start of the Neighborhood Ball and Obama does not miss out a chance of appealing to the spirit of the word neighbor. Because "what pulls us together is greater than what drives us apart" and "together e can change America". It is hard not to believe and you realize what the words translate to as you hear "At last" from the heart and voice of Beyonce. The next song is truly reflective of the feeling "Sky is still the limit". With Obama, America seems to feel a whole new world of opportunity has been created. The limit of the sky seems to have shifted upwards. At last, America has a true chance, nationally and internationally, to be what everyone wanted it to be. Sting, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Faith Hill, Maroon 5, Shakira and many other sing in one tone "Here I am, the sky is the limit, I'm Yours". (thanks Teeba for your cool laptop!)
Yesterday the internet in Argentina did not cooperate so no update. The day in Mendoza was great, with the nice and small family Vineyard of Altos de Hormigas being one of my favourites. They were very nice and the Malbec reserva the one that finally convinced me to like Malbec! We still had one more vineyard to go, Familia Zucatti, where we had a great lunch but the tours was already too much, we prefered to walk around on our own. But again, very different and very worth it! Today, we added Tevia to the group (after she came in my room at 5am) and repeated the Cemeterio since Tev and Shilps had not seen it, and then Malba. Surprise, surprise. Buenos Aires is not a small city but we still managed to run into Nitin and Ted in the Museum! We had a nice lunch with them and went for some more sightseeing in the afternoon. We went to Plaza de Mayo where the Casa Rosa is, walked down Calle Florida, the shopping street and up to Plaza San Martn for an excellent night view of the city. No
