I sent up a cheer for you and all of the other bloggers who have been waiting for this day.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Slim: Those of us south of the World War II Memorial and around the Lincoln Memorial were the least densely packed. But we were still in good numbers. The Washington Post is reporting that <A HREF="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/21/AR2009012103884.html?hpid%3Dtopnews&sub=AR" REL="nofollow">1.8 million people crowded onto the Mall</A> and a <A HREF="http://specials.washingtonpost.com/inauguration/satellite/?hpid=topnews" REL="nofollow">satellite image</A> taken 45 minutes before the inaugural events officially started shows a sea of humanity.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Lara: Past inaugurals have been rather large just as a matter of tradition and celebration, but this is probably the largest in history.

She was pretty far back on the mall, but could still see the Michelle Obama's bright colored dress. She was able to share her pictures and experience with her 4th grade class this morning which was pretty special.slimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061336303839160271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229381101096636687.post-27007951484557477482009-01-21T23:55:00.000+01:002009-01-21T23:55:00.000+01:00Glad you were there to report back to us first han...Glad you were there to report back to us first hand.
