Yes, We Did.

In Havana there were twelve American students who eagerly anticipated the beginning of Obamarama. They began their day by eating a stick-to-your-hips breakfast of cheese, bread, eggs, butter, and coffee. At 10:30AM they marched to Casa de las Americas like they do everyday for classes. This day, however, the students were granted a recess in the middle of classes for Obamarama.

At 11:20, the twelve students sprinted with glee down the street to El Presidente hotel where they huddled around the pool bar. Some ordered mojitos, and some ordered piña coladas. This was a celebration; one that is so beyond unique and ironic that fiction could never have dreamt of it: Americans, mojitos, Cuba, the Presidential Inauguration, El Presidente Hotel, classtime, CNN en español.
