I was surprised when I didn't hear any on TV. Now I know..<BR/><BR/>My friend who lives in the area also went and said much the same about it that you did. She said it was amazing to be surrounded by that much good will and awe.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you got to go. :) And I'm so glad that the sun is rising for us again.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067045642285877560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-24639858326566405902009-01-26T17:11:00.000-08:002009-01-26T17:11:00.000-08:00It sounds like you guys had a truly amazing experi...It sounds like you guys had a truly amazing experience!

It felt like all of you were representing the rest of us, in a way. We were watching here in the PNW (in a room full of people wearing Obama gear) and were simply awestruck by how many of you out there braving the freezing cold -- and so so wishing we could be there with you.Rebeccahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110795754864023339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-73316789877914759142009-01-24T18:32:00.000-08:002009-01-24T18:32:00.000-08:00Great post.

I am so happy for you that you had the opportunity to experience it firsthand.

You are so brave! <BR/><BR/>I keep thinking that if I was closer to DC, I would have been so torn, because I would have wanted to be a part of that historic day, but I would have also wanted to escape crowds about 10 seconds into that experience. <BR/><BR/>I also would have been much more hostile to the asshole that thinks Europe handles crowds so much better, esp. as I am married to a European and know for a fact that in Europe, there would be no jackass trying to squeeze his way in front of other people so there would be no need to try to argue with said jackass in the first place. So. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, it was so cool to read your first-hand account from a safe distance- and you two look so dang happy!
