Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Inauguration invitation from Takoma Village

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Awwww.  I'm so disappointed!  Come visit us another time?

No I won't be on the Mall.  I'm a wheelchair rider and the thought of  
having to share port o' potties w/ 1.5 million other people is a  
little overwhelming.  Plus, sitting, I'm shorter than everyone else so  
my view wouldn't be all that great.  I'll be here watching on TV so I  
can get up close and personal.  I DID however go down on the Mall  
yesterday (Sat.) along w/ a zillion other people.  We walked (I  
wheeled) from the Washington Monument to the "inner sanctum" of 1200+  
seats for the very lucky few who got tickets to the seated part of the  
event.  We took pictures of the balcony where the Address will be  
delivered to prove we were there!  I may write something to the Coho L  
and extend the invitation again.

Hope you'll share your experience w/ us!
