This really has nothing to do with India, or our upcoming travels. I am curious, however, about the mechanism for posting photos to this site. After all, if I can't show the pictures that we plan to take, then this whole blog thing will lose a lot of its appeal for me.
I thought we might digress a bit into politics, if for no other reason that I have an excuse to post a photo. In this case, a picture of Illinois' junior Senator, Barack Obama, who came to Bellevue last week in support of our state's Democratic candidates. I was a volunteer at the event (escorting VIP's no less), so I ended up in a fairly good position to take pictures. There were nearly 3,000 people crammed into the gym at BCC and I am not sure that those stuck at the back could see much of anything.
So what did I think of the Senator? Well, for one, he is one hell of a speaker. He easily reminded me of both JFK and MLK in his ability to articulate a message and inspire a crowd. He has the charisma thing going for him, big time! It will be a very interesting election if he decides to enter the race.

Mike and Carol - that is a great picture. You should find Internet cafes everywhere. I always do. Aunt Alene
I think this is a wonderful picture and that you were very lucky getting to hear him speak and being so close to get such a good shot! I am so jealous!
I can't wait to see more pictures of India! You both travel safe!
Love you! Elizabeth
