Inauguration

今日は、オバマさんの就任式。ワシントンはすごい人のようです。私は、おうちでテレビ見てましたけど。４年に一度の就任式は、いつもワシントンＤＣは人でごった返すらしいのですけど、今回は、特別らしいです。アメリカ史上初の黒人の大統領の誕生です。アメリカ人に聞くと、みんな、おうちでテレビを見るって言いますが（笑）。私もインフルエンザじゃなかったら見に行きたかったなぁ。

January 20 was the day of an inauguration of Mr. Obama. There were many many people in Washington DC. I was watching TV at my apartment. An inauguration ceremony is held every four years, and it is very crowded with so many people in DC.
But I heard that it was special and extremely crowded this year. This is because the U.S.A. has an African-American President for the first time in its history. Most of American told me they watched TV in their house. If I had not caught flu, I would have gone to see the parade.
