Morning and happy MLK day. We just woke up. How about a day 1 on DC photo post to warm up? All of my photos are up on Flickr in the set, Washington DC Day 1.
Train Ticket
We left Greebelt Station at 3 pm or so. Although there were long lines to get a metro ticket, we only had to wait about 15 minutes and the station wasn’t too busy. Not to busy yet, that is.
Dancing to Jazz
We (Emon, Francisco, and I) got off the train at The National Archives. This was the first thing I saw: a couple dancing to jazz music. It’s nothing spectacular but cute, such was the mood that day.
Everyone was walking back from the concert at the Lincoln Memorial. The traffic and crowds were both dense. Button sales spiked.
We walked further into the city.
Flags were everywhere.

White House
This is as close as you get. The road is blocked for the parade tomorrow. We got closer (with F’s lens).

Great Expectations.
Cold water. My face. I must wake up, blog about religion, and push onward. Before I go, we’re watching the local FOX News right now. They’re taking pictures and blogging on the show. It’s like watching an infomercial for social media. Terrible.
