'Another Mama for Obama" (sign at the primary)

so number one in a series of updates:

last tuesday was the first time in history that Americans have been able to go in person to cast a vote abroad. The Democratic Party has created an organization known as Democrats Abroad who have made it possible for the americans living/studying abroad to vote in person for the primaries! woo hoo

so around 7pm tuesday night Jessie and I went across hyde park to the voting location and along with lots of other ex-pats cast our votes! It was such a great atmosphere! There were people lined up around the building to get in to cast their vote then upstairs there were areas for obama and hilary including cookies, beers and of course a stage where you could cast your vote infront of everyone if you chose to do so. It was an awesome opportunity and im pretty proud i got to take part in it!
