Obama's Inauguration in Mexico

We were invited to see the inauguration ("toma de posesión") at a US Embassy gathering, so we used the excuse to pull the kids out of school for the morning. It was definitely exciting to watch. However, since we were sitting near the Ambassador, TV cameras and photos were on us the entire morning, and we were each interviewed several times when it was over. Gretchen said some students saw her on the news -- we watched but apparently missed it!

Here's a link, however, for the Mexico City English language newpaper, The News, with quotes by Gretchen Yoder-Schrock.




Surrounded by the media at the Benjamin Franklin library after the Inauguration (apparently my generic statements of optimism, hope, etc. weren't enough to get me mentioned in the paper :).
