ELECTION NIGHT, and the United States Embassy was aglow and abuzz with election watchers keenly following the progress of the voting to select the next president of the United States.
Hostess, US Ambassador Linda Taglialatela, gave her guests in Barbados a taste of the experience, even providing the opportunity for them to cast their own fun ballots towards the end of the party.
With rainclouds threatening, the event was held under a large tent where a few diplomats, some Government officials, Embassy staff, the 2016 Independence Parish Ambassadors and other guests chatted, ate and sipped cocktails, lightening the atmosphere on what for some appeared to be a tense evening of anticipation.
