A Great Springtime Walk

We had a great walk down to the mall with Allison and Mary. We walked around Eastern Market, walked around the Botanic Gardens, saw Allie get interviewed for NPR, saw purveyors of hate, saw shocked onlookers let those purveyors know what they thought of their message, and then had a great walk home.

Even the portapotties were in bloom!

And right across the street, both marchers (neo-nazis) and onlookers (flipping off the marchers) were exercising their first amendment rights.

It was hard to see the marchers through all the cops.
