A new America, a new world

ginocastelobranco.jpgSo this morning the world woke up with a new American leader. Hope he’s got, change will come, however difficult this will be. His popularity is enormous, I can only hope his popularity will stay. Meaning… he will be able to lead this world out of the crisis it’s gotten into. He became a presidential President, from the very first second he took the oath. During the past eight years, I’ve only travelled three times across the pond, as I wasn’t a big fan of the Bush administration. I must admit that I am already looking forward to jump on a plane and cross the Atlantic again, to see this new America with my own eyes…

I was in a plane somewhere between Brussels and Faro, yesterday, when Barack Obama was sworn in. Strange, I was taking a nap, and woke up at exactly 05.59pm Brussels time, one minute before he became the 44th President of the United States. I didn’t see these events live, but by posting them here, it’ll be easy to relive these historic moments…
