Yes We Can

For the first time in my small life, I am proud to be an American.

I am patriotic. I do love my country. I love my President elect. 

I will never forget where I was when my country made history... in a tiny computer study room full of fellow American students, at the moment displaced, but bonding like we never knew we could. Tears, and sweat in the heat of the day in Northern Thailand, as the American people and our Obama, made me proud.

Hi Jane,

This is Brett Faucett from Chiang Mai. I am the nurse that met all you ladies at the mexican food place. I love your blog by the way! I can't believe how emotional I felt about Obama winning. I was on the verge of tears watching his speech. I too feel so proud to be an American. I hope to see more of you and your other friends during your time here. Maybe at Loy Krathong.

Take Care
Brett

Jane, you are an amazing writer and student of history. Your fifth/sixth grade teacher is very impressed. Thank you for sharing so many adventures. Yes, Tuesday was a wonderful moment in our history. See you in the new year. Chase is three weeks old and wonderful! Diane
