After almost being completely compressed and deflated at the First Street entrance, I slipped out of the crowd (who told me I wasn't going anywhere) and went north and west. I mistakenly made it into the Parade route briefly at 14th St. (finally glad to make it somewhere), found a Secret Service man who told me to go up to I/19th and walk down. I got to the Mall at 11 a.m.! I couldn't believe it took so long. I was by the Washington Monument, ran into some friends (I had coincidentally spoken to the night before) and stayed with them all day.
It was so an amazing day. I think my legs separated from my body by the end of it all.

After the speech, the Obama's are greeting the crowd.
Right after they shook my hand!
