While you were sleeping...
...we were waiting. England has been waiting ALL day for America to wake up and choose its new president. Every conversation that I have had today has revolved around the elections. I just got back from London, and there were newspapers and signs everywhere that mentioned the election. The London Paper, always available as reading material on the Tube, was all about McCain and Obama. Tonight, I know of at least 10 different pubs that are staying open all night with election coverage. One of the clubs had a cover charge of 35 pounds-about $70!! The entire world seems to be focused on America tonight. I am actually going to watch the coverage right now, even though it's almost midnight here and the polls are not even closed. It's so neat to be over here and to dialogue about this affair with people from all over the world. Hurry up and vote, everyone, so that we can know who wins and then I can go to bed!! :)

It's kind of like the Olympics around here...the TV is going to be on until it's decided! Miss you!
I think by now you know who won, right? There was dancing in the streets here in Ballard!
It's so crazy to hear how the British view America! Over here we think they are pretty cool and come to find out they watch everything we do and think it's so awesome ...this seems to follow the saying "the grass is always greener..."...it's crazy too that it seems the whole world is glad Obama is the next Pres...who would've thought anyone other than the U.S. cared? xoxoxoxox, P's Mama
