I’m from Petrolina (located in the state of Pernambuco, not Bahia =D), but I guess I won’t vote in “our” Obama. I’d rather vote in yours. But, now that he was already won, I’m very happy about the safety in the whole world! But, I have to say, Obama’s election really reminded me of Lula’s first election.

Aichlee,

I’ll be hosting a party at my place on the night of the elections. It will be like gathering for that Joe Louis fight so long ago. Folks have been sending me photos of Obama from the streets of Brazil so if you see one snap a shot and I’ll post it.

Abraços

Yeah it’s pretty cool to see. There was another even larger banner of Obama on the other side of Shopping Barra. I’m jealous that you two will be in the states on the day of the election, but also excited to celebrate here in Salvador as well. Every time I tell someone I’m American, they ask me if I think he’ll win. Claro que sim! Abraços

Thanks for stopping by.

Que legal! I scheduled my birthday trip to Brasil for the day after elections. I am very excited about being in Salvador at that time because I can only imagine what the atmosphere will be like if (when) Obama wins.
