Inauguration 2009 - Monday Late Afternoon, January 19th

I got a quick shot of Angela at the National Archives. Staying Warm! It was cold, but bearable if dressed right. The walking was kind of nice (until we got tired). Sometimes, and I repeat, sometimes, I miss the cold weather and/or change of seasons. But, only a little bit.

This picture below is on the east side (Capital side) of the Washington Monument.

We finished up the day with a cold walk to the Lincoln Memorial where they were tearing down the stage from the huge concert the day before. You couldn't even get up to Lincoln seated in the Memorial. There was to much stuff in the way. The reflecting pond was pretty interesting to see also. It was completely frozen. Some brave people were even walking on it.

This is a shot from the Lincoln Memorial back up the Mall towards the Washington Monument. Time to head back to the apartment. We're going to try and catch the Metro.
