Yesterday morning I faced the streets in NYC with a different perspective. People were smiling and calmer than usual. There was excitement in the air.
At night the empire state building was shining in all blue colors. A dad tried to explain to his daughter that it was because Barack Obama won the election, that his party, the democrats' color was blue. She said: "Or maybe it's because Obama's favourite color is blue!"
Dance teachers at class are joking about it. "Yes we can" and "change we can believe in" are frequently used ;)
A lot of people really have been given hope. This city is now breathing hope and expectations, with a bad after taste caused by some bitter republicans that take every opportunity to call Obama and his supporters bad names.
