History is Revolutionary and I was there!

January 20, 2009

Huge Crowds!

When we woke up at 3:30a.m. (which is 12:30a.m. in L.A.) I was happy and exited because I woke up to Inauguration Day.

When we went to the Metro station and it was empty, not like it usually is, but it was just a little bit more than rush hour. When we got in line for the security check it was 4:45a.m. and there were about 100,000 people in front of us. They were going 50 people at a time.

We stood in line for 4 hours. When we got to the front of the line, to security we had to through away all drinks, foods, and purses, but luckily l didn't bring any drinks or a purse, but I did sneak in some food. It wasn't hard, they even searched our pockets and us. Then we were at the Inauguration and we saw the cars that the important people came in. After the Inauguration we took the Metro again. Then went to Z burger and I got a cheeseburger and fries. We then walked home and got a 3 hour nap because we deserved it! After that we ate dinner (chicken,salad,and mash potatoes).

Read again tomorrow!

Hi Nyla Once again I sent a message and it has not shown, so I will try again. I wanted to ask you (if you get this message before you go out in the morning) if you can get a local newspaper. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and dont forget to charge up your battery for your camera so that you can take lots of pictures. Love you, stay warm and safe.
