Celebrating Obama!

Last night, many of our delighted community members joined in celebration of Obama's victory. Prepared for a joyous party, the smart ones purchased champagne from the store the day before and can to one of the lounges ready to pop the cork.

The final word was announced on the internet and NPR radio at about 5:05 pm local time and many people spontaneously shouted, jumped for joy and hugged. We took a group photo, which someone emailed to CNN. It is on their website at: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/05/world.reaction/index.html Click on the 3rd photo of 4 in the upper left hand corner.

Apparently, the photo also made it onto the air on CNN when one of the reporters held it up as her favorite pic of people celebrating around the world.

Here's a copy of it:

Michiel and I are on the right-hand side.

Apparently, the photo also appeared in the NY Times. We're famous!
