Matt and I made our way to a smaller out of the way mountain town called Kodaikanal yesterday, where we promptly found a hotel with both beautiful views and CNN!
I could hardly wait to watch Obama get sworn in and give his historic speech. To prepare, we had two cups of coffee at dinner. (We are 10.5 hours ahead, and so we saw Obama take the Oath of Office on Monday at 10:30pm)
As always, President (yay!!!) Obama did not disappoint. I will never forget where we were the day America began to change. The day Bush left office.
This morning, after watching a bit more this morning ( I had to see Michelle's dress!), we walked into town. A few Indian kids yelled at us from a bus, "Obama! Obama!" The Indian National paper read "OBAMERICA!" this morning. I told Matt I felt a little spring in my step this morning. For the first time in a long time, I am proud to be an American.
YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
