We live in Madrid. It is at this time of the year, when the days are shorter, that I realize what living in the dark can mean. And I find it very sad. No matter how many Christmas lights there are around. I guess people in the North of Europe get used to it, but I haven’t seen the sun for 5 days now and I miss light, brightness, colors and the dimension that sunlight ads to objects. In Europe, the word immigrant means immigrant from the South. But in Spain, we have 60 million tourists every year. While they come for many reasons, fun, landscapes, food – they mostly come in search of…light.

Ojala sea así. Me temo que eso sólo pasará con una victoria de Obama, que espero se produzca. McCain es más Bush con un rostro diferente y una sombra inquiétente (Palin).

“And they will see that all over the world people are celebrating Obama´s victory and USA true change.”
And on January 21st. the celebrations will be over and most will realize what a mistake it was to put this man into office.

@ Dave Wilson:
Dave, is that what you want? That it turns out to be a mistake? I agree with you that we don´t know what Obama will do, how good or bad he will be. Moreover it will take now an absolute genius to take America around. But let´s all hope that he does a good job.

@ Natacha:
I used to be a US citizen but I was not allowed to be both a Spanish and US Citizen and I was allowed to be both an Argentine and Spanish citizen and after living in Spain for 10 years I chose the latter two. I have lived around a third of my life in Argentina, a third in the States and a third in Spain.
