I have been busy since I got back Friday but I thought I would just drop a photo down on this here blog and say a couple words about the inauguration. An in-depth story shall follow.
A. It was the coldest weather I have ever been in for 16 hours straight.
B. Wearing 4 pairs of socks doesn't matter, toes freeze no matter what.
C. I met more amazing people in 3 days than I ever have before.
D. I still haven't seen the inauguration at all.
E. I saw Barack from the parade side, and he stepped out of his limo and walked on down the line.
F. Micilin, Steph, and Jacob saved our souls.
Here's 5am on January 20th, 2009. At 7th and E Streets in "line" to get past security.

Addie I agree with all the above. But you forgot to mention one thing i learned: never be too shy to take pictures of strangers. I wish i had a photo of every dear and wonderful soul that we came across. the couple at the Septa station who became, for a moment, our surrogate parents, the kids from Houston, the guy from Florida, the girl who peed next to us...we should have documented all their lovely and memorable faces. THEY ARE ALIVE IN OUR HEARTS, as are each of the strange and haunting moments of this trip.
thanks for making us all go and planning it superbly. i loved every minute of it.
AWESOME!!!
