Abbey Road from the River

It is billed as the world's largest Beatles-inspired music festival.   And today, I was excited about getting a chance to see it -- from the River.

I launched my boat from Old Towne Alexandria, off the rocks where the water is waist high.  All around me Canadian geese napping and drifting along with a gathering of ring neck ducks.  There was huge boulders of drift wood, enough to supply firewood for a family of four for the entire winter.

Lennon Peace Rally at Lincoln

Glenn Beck's Peace Rally was last week, but tonight, it was all Beatles.  On exactly 11:11 pm, under a magnanimous moonlight by the reflecting pool, restive and bright, a couple hundred die-hard Beatles fan sang "Give Peace a Chance".

What a wonderful way to end my first week of classes at GWU and a nice run around the memorials.  Looking forward to Abbey Road on the River at National Harbor this weekend.
