233rd Marine Corp Ball

Ken and I attended the Marine Ball last night which was held at the Marriott.  We had a wonderful time!!!!!!!  Around 250 people were in attendance and Ken was the keynote speaker. He gave an incredible speech despite losing power at our house yesterday for over 2 hrs while he was working on it on the computer.  It was very touching and I know the 9 young Marines stationed here truly appreciated what he had to say.  The Marine Corp Detach. Cdr totally hooked us up and we stayed in the Presidential Suite.........it was pretty swanky :)  Initially we were to stay in the VP Suite, but the US Ambassador declined to use it so we got the upgrade.  I attached some photos.  One includes the US Ambassador, Hugo Llorens, Ken and Ryan Ybarra, Marine Corp Detach. Cdr.  It was a long evening and hard to believe I made it til 11:30, but we were thrilled to be a part of it.
