HISTORICO! UN NEGRO EN LA CASA BLANCA!

That's the headline here in Barranquilla. Unlike the rest of the world, Colombians are not thrilled about Barack Obama's election. John McCain came out in support of the Colombian trade agreement, whereas Obama has opposed it. That didn't stop us from celebrating last night though. Champagne and CNN, so exciting, I had shivers.

Best part of the night: "CNN can now project that Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States."

Second best part of the night: "It began in the backyards of Des Moines."

It truly was awesome, wasn't it? I hope that you two managed to vote absentee!
