Oh So Busy

January 18, 2009

Today was the busiest day we have had here in D.C. I have never seen so many things with Obama on it. I was like, how much merchandise can one person hold?

So, after we made our way through the chaos I was so impressed on just how the outside of the National Holocaust Museum was so breath taking that I was about to break down in tears because I couldn’t believe that I go home and complain about all the great things in my life when all these people lost all they had. When I started taking notes and as soon as we were done with the first floor I had like five pages of notes. You really realize that you don’t know the Holocaust until you you’ve seen this museum. My sadness is not bad, as every should feel sad when the really see what the Holocaust is all about.

Today was hectic because all these people were headed to a concert which caused a lot of traffic even to those who were walking. Everywhere one looked you saw one of two things, a police car or some type of Obama merchandise. The Metro train was the most crowed day I have seen so far.

Please visit tomorrow and hear about all the excitement!

Were you thinking about Number the Stars when you were ate the museum? I am sure little Annemarie came to life while you heard the stories of those people.

Ms. J., I am so happy to read that you are absorbing to much of the atmosphere of D.C.. The Holocaust Museum moves so many to tears, as it should. Continue with your great observations. I look forward to reading more.

It sounds like you took a lot away from your visit to the Holocaust Museum. Those are lessons you should never forget. - Mr. Diaz
