I have not posted lately because I was really sick . Had a cold. It's Monday now and I ready to go. Yesturday Saturday was the opening ceremony for the Festivitist. The Mall was like a party atmospere, every when well there were thousands of people. Obama stayed through out all the concert. Because that is exactly what it was. We saw Tom Hank, Queen Latiffa, u2, Shakira, Stevy Wonder, Jamie Fox, Jorge Lopez, and many others.
The afternoon was very emotional and about 500,000 people. It was a blast. Can not wait till Tomorrow.
Today - Monday we went back to the Mall to check out the crowds. We had time to see the Pentagon from afar. The one I'm glad I saw was the Vietman Memorial. It is amazing how may young man died during this war. As I was walking through the exhibit the wasll kept getting bigger and bigger and more names were added on the Rock. I stood in front of a one of the monuments and was reading all the names in this particular stone . As I stood there reading a little girl sad," Mom here's grandpa's name" I felt like hugging her. Seeing this made me sad about the war that is going on today in Iraq. When I finally finished walking the exhibit I could not talk because if I did I would just start crying, this is how emotional it was walking down this exhibit.
After we continued to walk towards the Capital and I saw 2 feet away from me Martin Luther King Jr.III in person. He was on his way to go give an interview with CNN. Sergio and Maria came on CNN live.
Well we are going to the cabin, because we will be up at 2 in the morning to get a good spot for the main event. I will keep you posted . Bye.
