| Waiting in the long line to get in the gates which opened at 9 AM. |
 | |
| Thanks Anita for making me go even though it was my idea and I tried to back out! |
 |
| Finally we got to the security line! Metal detectors and handbag exams. |
 |
| The eager, patient crowd. Speeches didn't start until 12:00! We waited over 3 hours in the hot sun. |
 |
| The long view to the stage. |
 |
| The view below when I took a seated breather! They passed out the water bottles and am sure they cleaned up afterwards... there was nowhere else to put them! |
 |
| People on the edge were trying to pass water to those in the center of the crowd. I heard several people passed out! I felt dizzy a few times... the people... the sun.... the thirst! |
 |
| We made friends with those around us and helped with their babies! Anita is a natural. |
 |
| The view behind us. An impressive sea of people. I never heard or saw an unkind thing and felt a great vibe. |
 |
| FINALLY! Can you see President Obama!!! He's the little white speck waving his hand on the stage! It exhilerated us all to finally see and hear him! |
 |
| A blurry shot that captures the spirit after he spoke. |
 |
| Me in my new presto-change-o Women for Obama $5 shirt! |
