Reply #63: Coming into the city was beyond beleif. The Mall was packed and on the sides you could barely move.

Transportation from Shady Grove Red Line had completely packed car after car, and lines beyond sight. I often wonder how many people just finally gave up. Coming into 7th Street on the Mall by the Moveon truck and by the porta-potties it was mobbed, and trying to get to the center of the mall by 11:15 was impossible, especially for the claustrophobic. I climbed up the stairs of the National Gallery to watch, but sound was not good there, so I forced my way down as far as I could.

I've never seen this many people in the mall. It had to be at least 250,000, and frankly with better sound and more screens, I think the crowd would have backed up beyond the Washington Monument.

Was great fun though.
