I've just spent some time looking at posts of joyful celebrations of Biden's victory in US cities on Instagram and in news media. A lot of people are certainly breathing easily again in the USA and across the world. The wicked witch has gone.
Congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on a very sweet victory. Decency and honesty and respect for science will be back where it should be. No more running America by mad midnight tweets.
I loved travelling in the US.and have been there many times for work and pleasure. I have driven all over and seen the country away from the tourist trails.
As Trump's rheoteric became uglier and uglier and his behavour became more unhinged into his presidency Val and I decided after our 2017 Mississippi River Road trip that we would not/could not visit the USA again whilst he remained president.
With Val very sick, the pandemic raging in the US and the travel restrictions, a US visit in the forseeable future is not going to happen anyway but at least one restraint has gone.
Good riddance, orange man. You will not be missed by us and millions of others although I understand that your good mate, Vlad, is a tad upset at your demise.
A collection of American snapshots from a wonderful visit in 2015. Wonderful smiling, welcoming people and a beautiful country. Let's hope sanity really has been restored.
