What a long day. It was total chaos riding the Metro into the District. We left the hotel at 8am and didn't get to the National Mall until almost Noon. We had less than six miles to go too. Lots of walking, very slowing walking. If anybody sees on the news about a woman falling onto the tracks at Gallery Point, that was my train. Luckily for me it didn't slow us down anymore than what things already were. I believe it shut down the orange line for over an hour. But it was our stop and we moved out of the way for the firefighters to respond, who by the way were there in seconds.
It was very cold but once we got to the Mall the cold was the last thing on anybody's mind. My guess is there had to be 2 million people just at the Mall. It was incredible. When it was over it took hours, I mean hours to get back out of the District. So we called it an early night and I'm here at the blog about to crawl into bed. Everything, the whole experience, has been so exhausting but well worth it.
The best part about the whole day besides watching Obama take the oath was watching Bush get booed as he made his appearance. What he's done to this country is despicable. A mere goodbye song by millions and millions of people is nothing compared to the disrespect he has shown the this country and the world.
I have my own video of the booing and singing also but it's too late to find the chords to hook up my video recorder to the laptop. I'll do it when I get back to Illinois. Until the video above is really worth a brief watch.

When one man was contained and powerless outside his own country, he went after him and brought vengeance along for the ride. This is his story as only history can tell it.
