The Mall to the left of the Lincoln Memorial, 4:15 p.m.The man had to follow James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, Bon Jovi ("who knew he had so much soul?" said Cousin J, behind the camera, above), Garth Brooks, Bono and Jamie Foxx's subtle impression of him. I'd guess, on average, that more folks around us had their camera phones aimed at the screen for his 5-minute speech than for all the folks preceding him, combined.
Observations so far: Biking as transportation is a wise choice and Cousin J knows the fast routes. While the cold is not so very cold, the longjohns have also been wise.....ask me again on Tuesday when we wait 7 hours outside for the inaugural address. The number of swag vendors on the street is uncountable....and it's only Sunday.
More to come.
