Election Night and the Celebration afterwards...

I spent election night with my friends June and Ed...we had wifi in the hotel room and CNN in english. We stayed in all evening and ordered a pizza from a place next door called Chicago Pizza, which we assume is the reason why Obama won!!! Or, just one of the reasons :)Ed enjoying a slice of Chicago Pizza while staying tuned in online to CNN coverage...we had to be the firsts to know anything and everything!!!

The answer we were all looking for...the moment when Barack, Michelle, and family came out on stage for his acceptance speech! It was a glorious moment :)

We went out for a celebration breakfast and I bought a spanish newspaper...They have said people often remember moments in their lives by remembering where they were when something significant occurred. I will never forget watching Obama win the presidency from my hotel room in Ecuador.
We weren´t the only ones paying attention to the news. This Ecuadorian man sits reading the coverage on November 5th while getting his shoes shined just off the central plaza in Cuenca!
