OBAMA!!

FYI - Ireland loves Obama, too. Two 50-yr old ladies came into my shop, and as I adjusted of one of their dresses, they were gushing to me how they stayed up all night watching the election, calling each other and crying happy tears.

The things is, they were only two in a large handful of people of people to tell me how they stayed up all night waiting to hear who won. It's been very interesting experiencing an American presidential election overseas.

P.S. I can feel a definite change in the way people interact with me as an American. Now, instead of feeling a subtle suspicion, it feels like everyone wants to give me a high five. Yeah!!
