VOTE TODAY!!!!!


It's that time again! And this time, the whole world is watching.....

This was the front page of the paper today here in Cape Town, South Africa. If you opened up the paper, there were 3 more pages with US presidential race articles. Don't worry, some of them talked about McCain, but everyone here in South Africa LOVES Obama. The title of a half page article yesterday read--"Obama will become the 44th president of the United States tomorrow." It seems people are very confident over here. Obama runs through the billboards, stenciled grafiti on almost every stop sign of Main Road, and through so many people's converstations. Now, I'm not one for politics, but being here in South Africa has made me more aware than I ever have been. South African's know more about US politics than I do.....sad reality, huh?

Anyways, I'm not going to tell you who I'm voting for or who to vote for, but I am reminding everyone reading this (if you are in the United States) to go out and vote today! Don't forget! It's my first presidential election to vote in and it's a HUGE one! So get off the computer and VOTE!!

HAPPY ELECTION DAY!!!

ps- I did vote, but absentee...could someone send me an "I voted today" sticker please? :)
