Tomorrow's the big day, and I'm now getting ready for it by taking a nice, long rest. Most of the day was spent walking around downtown D.C., and going to Macy's twice, since I needed a sweater in the morning (forgot to bring one), then lost a glove during the day (and needed another pair). Luckily, they had an awesome half off sale, in addition to a 'foreigner' sale for those of us not living in the District of Columbia, so it wasn't too damaging to my wallet.
I shot this picture of the Capitol building about half an hour before sunset:
Then a seminarian and I walked all the way down the national mall and shot a few pictures of the Washington Monument (it was a gorgeous sunset on a clear day - the little speck you see next to the monument is an airplane in the distance):
Finally, I visited the National Gallery with a few other seminarians, and we noticed a peculiar picture just outside the presidents' portrait gallery:
Apparently, Stephen Colbert had the gumption to ask if his portrait could be hung in one of the Smithsonian galleries in Washington, D.C... Maybe I could get my portrait added there, too, if I carried it in on my back [DCist.com].
Perhaps I'll be able to get a post in tomorrow; if not, you'll see a summary of my thoughts on the March (as well as some photos) by the weekend—stay tuned!
