Inauguration

Today seems to be as much of a holiday in Uganda as it is back in the US. I sat down in the same place I was 11 weeks earlier, where I watched Obama give his acceptance speech in Chicago. There I was again, surrounded by plenty of Ugandans and a few Americans. We were all very excited to watch this historical moment. Today is the first time I have been proud of my president in a long time. It feels kind of nice. Who would have thought?
