Letter from Brazil

posted by on November 4 at 7:11 AM

Hey Eli,

It is with great pride all the way from Florianópolis, Brasil, that I report that the 6 Americans I know here (including Colorado, Florida, Georgia, and Texas!) have voted weeks ago for Barack Obama. We are all anxiously awaiting today’s results and will be glued to the net (no live TV coverage here) all night tonight drinking beer and caipirinhas!

My students from English class can’t ask enough questions about this race. And, I, for one, am looking forward to changing my introduction from, “I’m American, but please don’t hold it against me — I don’t like GW either.” to “I’m American, and I voted for Obama.”

-Nick D’Agostino
(Colorado!)
