The Day After

The first day of the Obama Presidency









We set out today with no real plan. When we got outside it was beautiful, cold but bright and sunny. The Lincoln Memorial seemed like the right place to go...for some reason it seems that everyone has been drawn to Abe these past few days. We walked down 23rd Street and were shocked to see thousands of people there. You actually had to stand in line to walk up the steps. Even Miss France was there having pictures taken. She wore an Obama hat.

We walked all the way down the Mall (again) loving the country we call home.

I forgot to note that we saw Forrest Whitaker yesterday at a random lunch place.
