I just left there yesterday. Did have a chance to take a walk and see some of the stuff being set up.
First I had a chat with the man himself. Gave him some ideas about foreign policy. Told him to be nice to Canadians:
Then I walked along the set-up by the Lincoln memorial
On this stage, and around various places in the mall area, they have set up giant video displays:
Here's the view out from center stage:
There are porta-potties everywhere. 5000 in total apparently. I hope it gets a lot warmer for them, as these porta-potties are all frozen solid. Think their capacity could be a bit limited....
And one last shot, with Capital Hill in the distance:

How did you adress him? President Elect? Mr Obama? The Big O?
:)
Sooooooo cool that you had the opportunity to spend time with the
President-Elect. How did you manage it?
Have never visited Washington during the winter but have a vivid imagination. Beautiful photos!
An interesting job allowing you to travel so extensively?! Have friends who really don't enjoy the traveling, and others who wouldn't have it any other way.
It seems it's not all business when you do travel.
And, you look happy! :))
Ha ha nice picture with Obama Give him my greetings next time.
That is going to be a great happening over there
He looks a bit wooden...Did you find him that way?

Vy: I addressed him as Mr Big O sir, of course.
Petra: I am happy! It all depends what's going on where as to how much I travel. I like a little bit of travel. Keeps the job interesting. Never hurts to look around when I'm there either ;).
Marja: yes, I think Washington will be a very, very busy place today and tomorrow
Kat: Just a little eh? He was far more corrugated than I anticipated. Maybe he was just worn thin from all his inaugural duties...
