Happy MLK Day


"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase." 
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

The inauguration will soon be upon us, and the anticipation in the air has been tangible ever since I got here, but only now have the crazy crowds started to come in.

It's been a long, exhausting, but eventful day. Woke up at 6 am to line up for the 2:30 pm free concert at Lincoln Memorial - the location of MLK Jr.'s historic "I have a dream" speech  - to kick off the inauguration festivities. Moment to moment, it wasn't exactly the most enjoyable, but it was definitely worth being there, and the performances and speeches were phenomenal. Absolutely unforgettable experience.

Details and pictures to come.
