The immensity of what we did last week is starting to sink in. Especially when you compare interviewing and eating lobster and lamb chops with governors, senators, representatives, and ambassadors in Washington D.C. to the daily grind back in Maine it just doesn't compare. Last Monday was perfect, we got every where we needed to go on time, the Chris' scored tickets to the Inauguration and something about standing out on the balcony of the Veteran's Armed Services Committee room overlooking the capital dome just hit the spot.
There were downsides to the excursion. Walking all day for at least 10 hours in dress shoes was one of them. The journey from the Metro stop to the Embassy was more than a mile-uphill along curvy roads. Running to catch up with certain people, and having 10 minutes to find an unsecured internet connection and send a couple of sound bites was nerve racking to say the least. But all efforts paid off and were a success. Just one day before history in The District.
