A Capitol Time, continued

Here I am after the concert. More pictures tomorrow.

A Capitol Time

Here are some pictures from Washington. Most of my pictures turned out to be of crowds, because that's what we saw for the most part -- the backs and shoulders of our two million new friends.

Everyone excited. Everyone happy. Bunting draped in front of bars and restaurants. Bunches of flags on every streetlight. Obama in every shop window.


This is a picture from the Mall the day before the inauguration, while they were putting the final touches on the platform for the swearing-in.

Inauguration Central

Jayne and I are safely settled at the Georgetown Holiday Inn, and are already caught up in inauguration fever. I'm having some technical difficulties getting pictures off my camera and on to my laptop, but thanks to the magic of Google images, I can share a picture of my first inauguration souvenir -- my very own Obama action figure.
