The lovely expats, anglophones, and of course Americans gathered for an election gala at the aquarium in Paris on November 4th to follow the results all night long (a necessity since since Paris is 9 hours ahead of the West coast).
We gathered to also enjoy a night of CNN on big screens, lovely drinks, buffets (although the French don't quite have the true buffet down yet...), and of course politics. I loved being in the midst of an historic event in a very non-usual setting. Now when future generations ask where I was when the US elected the first black president, I can say sitting next to some girls from Georgia in an aquarium in Paris...
