Not like this, there's a reporter from the BBC tweeting how the streets going to the square are all packed, and palpable joy is everywhere.
Watch the video stream if you can, it's uplifting to see. It's more than just the anticipation of celebration, it's the pure and unadulterated celebration and the carnival atmosphere associated with that.
Just put it into perspective, a dictator that most have lived under all their lives, the fear that goes with it... it's all being released in one go.
It's really hard to watch these pictures and not feel that rub off, but down on the ground this is probably the highest concentration of pure happiness and elation on this planet.
Look, awesome is an over-used word and we're an extremely cynical bunch... but this really is awesome.
