The rally that restored Sanity, at least for hundreds of thousands

The trip to DC to attend the Rally was energizing and invigorating. Taking the B30 bus from BWI to Greenbelt Metro was the first step. Nearly all the passengers were headed for the rally..three young Indian ladies from New Jersey, some high school kids and some older folks, all headed for the same destination. One of the young college students pulled out his laptop and had the event streaming. The appearance of the Mythbusters and Stephen Colbert were quite funny. I did my part by giving up my seat to an older lady who was also headed to the event. She had come from New Hampshire.

The Metro train from Greenbelt to the Archives was packed with the rally goers and their posters. Had engaging conversation with Luke and Tanya- two young kids from Boston. Both of them had traveled quite a bit around the world, and it was very motivating talking to them. Arriving at the Rally one could only see an ocean of humanity, full of friendly people and clever signs.
It gives one hope that there is some semblance of sanity left, and it is good to see that people, at least some, do care.
