We were somewhere on the western side of the Atlantic Ocean around 26 degrees latitude and 68 degrees longitude, when Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. And just like UVA, all activities were cancelled on the ship so that we could all partake in that historic event. I sat between two students, one from the University of San Diego and the other from the University of Arizona. We were all one in our appreciation of the moment. Tears of joy and exclamations of pride echoed around the ship.
I am not in this photo. There are many monitors placed around the ship so that all one thousand of us could see it.
Interesting. It wasn't long ago that UVA was full of cigar chomping young republicans.
