I'm not complaining......it was worth every minute.
The impression I get from CSPAN and the DC viewing is a rather lackadaisical flow.
If it works for them....great!
They do seem to be walking less briskly through the Rotunda than they did in the library... You are lucky you were able to go. I thought seriously of trying to go Monday afternoon but the time involved was a little too much for the kids' schedule (high schooler in midst of finals, etc.). I hope to visit the library soon after it reopens next weekend.
Seems that many more people can fit in at one time in DC... there appears to be two criss-crossing lines...
I went first thing Monday morning... 3 hours from the time I hit the line to the time I returned to Moorpark College. Didn't feel like a long wait at all. There was good energy in the air.
