a cold 15 hours on the mall

It was pretty cold today. Of course dc can not touch the bitter cold weather of my hometown Chicago but it was still a little nippy.

We all gathered to sit among the hundreds who watched the we are one performance for barack obama. Several artists and actors hit the stage to present their part in this program. Though we were far from the stage the feeling of being around and connected to all of those people supporting one common cause was amazing. The crowd chanted and cheered, climbed trees, and embraced one another. Everyone saw potential in our country as Obama became more synonymous with change.

I was happy to see us grow closer as a group. We learned names, played games and leaned on each other during this time of cold.
