Amy at the Inauguration

Amy was fortunate enough to be invited to the inauguration by her close friend Todd, who is chief of staff for Ohio's first lady, Frances Strickland. Todd's brother, Geoff, flew down from NYC and they all stayed together at the Mayflower. I have created a slideshow for one set of the pictures from the parade and the Balls and and the ones to the Gala are a link to a professional photographers site. Regardless of your politics I am sure it was a thrill to be there. ;)

As usual you need to double click on the slideshow to blow it up. :)



Here are the three links:

Anna & Bob visit PV

We just finished a week with our good friends, and first guests, Bob & Anna Moone. Anna had a new, wonderful camera with a 5X zoom and so consequently most of the pictures were taken on their camera....but I thought I would quickly post a slideshow of what few I have. I am coveting her camera! ;)

Taco Stand

Tuesday our friend, Fred Forbes from St. John, New Brunswick, took us to a favorite taco stand. So far we have never had the nerve to try one....we had giant deep fried shrimp (camarones) tacos for 13 pesos each which works out to about 99 cents with the excellent exchange rate we are enjoying this year. :) We added cervezas and we were happy campers. Today at Sam's Club in PV we bought 12 pack bottles of Corona for about $5 USD with the exchange rate :). Life is good and life is warm and sunny. We are thinking about you back home and worrying that you do not lose your heat. :( The minus temperatures scare us!

Wine Label Party

This was a fantastic evening! Our PV friends, Pattie & Barry, hosted this great party. The food was delicious and the wine flowed. :) The company was the best! A very creative group. The presentation of the wines was pure theater. I had to go first and had not attended before so I was a little lame but the winners were sensational. They know how to sell a product! ;) I apologize that some of my pictures did not turn out that well but hopefully you can see how clever and topical they were! If you double click you can blow up the slideshow. Then click slideshow for a full screen view. You might want to up slideshow to 6 seconds or so per slide to read the labels. :)
