We were living in Prague teaching English. The night of the election, we stayed up until sunrise, alternately cheering and crying with joy.

The inauguration was on at a MUCH more reasonable hour. Which was good. But we wished very much to have been on the Mall with millions of others, in support of our belief in change.

I had the fortune of attending the Inaugration festivities this year. Although I'm sure the different media outlets tthat were there recorded the events as best they could, TV can never fully convey what happened. It was amazig to me just how packed the city was. I'll never forget how there were old peopl, particularly black senior citizens, being pushed around in wheel chairs in the 20 degree weather by their relatives. Keep in mind there was barely any room to move in the first place. Even still, people saw these wheelchairs and made a paths amidst the chaos for these snior citizens to get through. TV's couldn't show that beause they weren't in the middle of the pack. everywhere I trned I saw people, of all races, of all different walks of life, celebrating one historic event, and no lack of space nor lack of heat could stop anybody, regardless of age.

Obama by proxy

Subject

[no text]

Description

My puppy and I couldn't vote in the presidential election - me because I'm Scottish, not American, and the puppy because she's, well, a dog.

But my wife, who is American used her postal vote in favour of President Obama, and bought both of us Obama T-shirts for Christmas, which we proudly wore on Inauguration Day.

The TV relay of the Inauguration was on in the background when my wife took this picture, and you can be sure that there was a house in Woodstock, near Oxford, UK where the event was thoroughly celebrated.

Of course, our puppy Elodie is a bit put out that the Obamas didn't choose a Miniature Schnauzer for First Dog, but you can't win them all.

Watching from Spain

Subject

[no text]

Description

I was studying abroad in Seville, Spain at the time, so I watched the Inauguration in an international bar that had CNN International (I had watched the election there as well, staying up until 6 am to do so) and was showing it on a special screen, along with other members of my study abroad program and other American ex-pats. It was 6 pm our time, so in the evening instead of the middle of the day. Some people were wearing Obama shirts and pins--my roommate was wearing several, and between that and the fact that she was the only African-American in the bar she was interviewed by many Spanish stations afterward about what she had thought of the ceremony. The whole time I was also texting with my dad, who was back home in DC and on the Mall by the Washington Monument.

It was a very exciting day, even from almost 4,000 miles away! I was glad I was able to see it and share the moment with fellow Americans despite being abroad.

Riding on the train with the Obamas was a memorable experience. We enjoyed meeting President Obama and his wife as well as Vice President Biden and his wife. Quincy Lucas the mother of our family not only had the opportunity to introduce President Obama in Baltimore but also was picked to give the Vice Presidential nomination speech at the DNC in Denver. Victoria Lucas the daughter of the family even had a chance to dance with President Obama at the inaugural ball. She did the bump with him on live TV! We will never forget this historic event. It will always be a sense of pride and great stories for you family for generations to come!

I watched the inauguration at the Baltimore Convention Center; it was great to watch this historical event on the big screen and a warm environment. Kudos to President Obama and all who braved the freezing weather the day of the inauguration.

It was one of the coldest weekends in Washington that I could remember in the six years that I have lived here. In addition to attending the inaugural concerts, we wandered around downtown DC, actually enjoying the influx of tourists that usually irritate those of us that live here. This time it was different; you smiled and spoke to the out of towners because we all knew we were excited for the same reason. We wandered in and out of the fancy hotels spotting hollywood and political celebrities alike! Thanks to an Obama employee I was fortunate enough to have tickets to the lawn of the capitol to watch; we arrived at 6:30am and made in through security just in time for the procession of former presidents. The feeling of anticipation at and hope the moment he was sworn in was beyond anything I imagined I would feel!

it was definitely a day i will never forget!!!
