World traveler Natalie leaves DC in an hour and a half with a stop in New York and then back to Minneapolis.  She attended the Obama staff inaugural ball last night in DC.  We anxiously await her report.  Last we heard via a text message was that Joe Biden was speaking at the ball.  It will be very interesting to hear what the Haitian people think of Obama's election.  It will be fresh on everyone's minds, that's for sure.
