Our next cultural adventure (we don’t call them vacations anymore since we’re retired and don’t need vacations as such) will be to Central America in just 3 weeks. So, we are busying ourselves with reading about the Maya and all the architectural wonders, their religion, the food they ate, their lifestyles, etc. that have been attributed to them. It’s an amazing period of time that spans thousands of years, and we are excited about seeing a tiny portion of that time period.
We are also hoping to catch some sun in that gloriously warm part of the earth, especially since we’ve just experienced the most snow in this part of Washington in many, many years, certainly the most since we’ve lived out here.
Happily, we will be able to celebrate the inauguration of our new president, Barack Obama, before heading south the very next day. What a happy occasion to send us on our way; we hope that people we meet will greet us with a different view of the US. I have positive feelings about our new and improved standing in the world.
