you were so much closer than I was. I was all the way back near the Washington Monument. It seemed like you enjoyed yourself, I sure did!!!

if you watch some of my other videos, you will notice that I enjoy myself every single day, everywhere I go, everything I do. Thanks for watching. even the one where I'm just driving around DC doing errands.

Bill, did you begin this adventure at the Rossyln Metro? That looked like the Rosslyln escalator, but I certainly haven't seen them all.

My word. From President Obama to V. Gene Robinson, this has truly been a landmark inauguration.

we began at Pentagon City Mall, and exited at Foggy Bottom, I do believe.

Yes, it was great to be part of history in the making.

Thanks, very much. That's actually my nephew.

So, Bill, once you decided to leave, how long did it take you to get back to the metor and then back home? Though I didn't vote for him, it would have been interesting to be at his inauguration - except I really hate being in humongous crowds like that. Thanks for the commentary.

Wildbill, that was Josh Groban singing My Country Tis of Thee. One of the best singers in the world!!
