Tuesday, January 20th, 2009. No matter where anyone was, today was one of the most notable in history. Us American's over in Spain were allowed to leave class a bit early to catch the Inauguration coverage of Barack Obama. Therefore, after a long day of class, we all ventured to a Irish Pub nearby for $1 Estrella's, (one of Barcelona's most common beers)and to watch the official Inauguration ceremony. When entering the pub, I noticed a huge crowd of kids. Granted seeing tons of American's in one place is not something to be excited about, today was an exception. Kids from all sorts of programs gathered around, had some beers, and cheered on our new president. It was truly a priceless experience, and granted I was not even in the homeland to experience it, it will never be forgotten.
