Yes We Can (If We Don't Freeze First)

today we went to obama's inauguration - the wilmington edition. the inaugural train stopped in wilmington for about an hour to pick up joe biden and there was a little rally in the park next to the train station. people starting lining up at dawn for a 1pm appearance, or so we heard, since we didn't arrive until about 11:30. it was surprisingly easy to get a spot with a good view of the stage (we were literally on a grassy knoll) and even though we were all bundled up, it was freeeezing - about 20 degrees although with mercifully little wind. despite the cold it was well worth it to be part of the history-making inauguration, sans DC mayhem. here are a few pics:
