The pre-inaugural concert at the Lincoln Memorial

We reported on the concert today, getting crowd reactions and photos from near the Washington Monument, which is about a mile from the Lincoln Memorial. The crowd was huge and it was difficult to get around, but I did get to talk to quite a few people from all over the country and the world.

One guy I interviewed was a student in the states, but a citizen of Nigeria. Another man from London said he came to D.C. just to be a part of what is "a moment of hope for the whole world." It was a lot of fun, but pretty tiring. Also, the crowd made riding Metro nearly impossible, so we walked with our frozen feet back to the office.
