Getting ready to retun to Barcelona/and Inguration of Barack Obama

I have been in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico since late fall. Getting ready to go back to Barcelona. Looking forward to returning to Europe. I love Mexico. The warmth, the sun, the people, the food. But I also love Barcelona.

I will probably wait until after the Inaguration of Barack Obama. Very excited about having Bush and his cronies out and Barack and Michele Obama in the Whitehouse. A great moment for America. I was very happy that I had the opportunity to vote for him.

America is way to ploarized. I love America. I am an American by birth. But the US has gone through some terrible times with Bush. Look at the terrible financial , global financial, problems that we have. Over 10 million people out of work in the States. They say it will get worse, very quickly.

An example of how polarized the US has become: Last night I was watching Fox News (mistake) and Huckabee was interviewing Ann Coulter. She said something that I could not believe I heard. She said something like "do you (Huckabee) support gays, faggots, those sodomists?"
She is nuts. I cannot believe how ignorant Ann Coulter is.

Later on I saw an interview that Bush gave to Fox News. It was in the Whitehouse with his father, ex President Bush. He said that the Republican party and the conservatives in the United States need to become kinder and more tolerant. Especially about such issues such as immigration. He said that if this does not happen we will continue to become a country more and more polarized. I was glad to hear him say it. But I also think that he has a certain responsibility for helping to polarize the country.

Enough of all of that. It is a beautiful day here in Cuernavaca. About 75 degrees F, (25C ??). Sunny , with blue skies. Cuernavaca is known as the land of eternal Spring. 5,200 ft ( approx 1,800 meters ??) in elevation. Just beautiful. Dry mountain. Very little humidity.

The pot garden on the lower terrace of the house is full of bouganvilla , lantana and a few roses. Here in Cuernvaca you stick it in the ground or in a pot and it grows and grows. On the top of the house; 4 stories up, is a roof terrace with beautiful views of Cuernavaca and the mountains that separate us from Mexico City. I have several huge pots of bouganvilla up there. They are vibrant fuschia in color and blooming like crazy.
