Welcome and thanks for visiting my blog!  I set this up in hopes of corresponding between my friends and family in the U.S. while I study abroad in Merida, Mexico.  I hope to give you a little piece of the fascinating culture and lifestyle of the people in Merida.

Get out the vote!

I just cast my vote in my first presidential election!  I've voted in some previous elections, but this was the first time I've been old enough to vote for a president.  As corny as it may sound, I really felt like my vote mattered.  Ohio is such a huge state for this election and I'm happy to be part of a big swing state.  It also felt good to see the board of elections full during a thursday of early voting.  While I'll continue to keep volunteering for the Obama campaign, its nice to know that my vote is already in!  I have a really good feeling about this election....
