We took this photo last summer in Paris. In France, the newsstands were full of papers and magazines featuring the candidate from Chicago on the cover. Inauguration Day felt like a long time off and very far away as we snapped this pic, but the day has finally arrived. Our son's class is enjoying a celebration today (including a "Pin the Obama on the White House" game) and friends of ours are throwing a big party to watch the events unfold, kicking off the festivities early in the day...at 9:30 am! From what we hear, lots of gatherings are planned...




Well, my boss invited us to watch Obama's speech at the local café. And since it was already 6 PM in France, I guess that the drinks he offered us were in order...
