Today was Martin Luther King Day. Tomorrow the inauguration of Barack Obama takes place, or Dr. Martin Luther King's dream come true, as a black woman said on the news yesterday. We will be following the event live on a big screen at Columbia University. Apparently, we are not the only ones who want to see the inauguration up-close: 2 million people are expected in Washington. In the meantime, every news channel in the US is counting down to the inauguration... certainly, a major milestone in US history.
An interesting side effect of the inauguration is the increase in sales of botox and the like. A lot of inaugural party crashers want to look their best at this important day, so they turn to botox and other "quick fix" solutions at plastic surgeons (See this article).
Today, it also snowed (again) and I didn't want to keep these pictures from you... Central Park was filled with people enjoying the scenery, having fun with snowball fights and even langlaufing.
