Unforgettable

Well today was pretty awesome I must say. I didn't even see this man before I met Chrissy. I decided to go the Whitehouse today in hopes of something crazy happening, but it was very slow when I got there. I mean there was some news reporters there and some normal tourists, but I seen Chrissy and complimented her Nikon, which brought me to see this man, Elijah. She said there was a man with a crazy beard, but she was nervous to ask him for the photo. So we both went over and got a picture of him and Chrissy even got a picture with him, a definite laugh out loud moment. Elijah has been traveling all over for the past 34 years and it is what he loves to do and wants with his life. Things started to pick up a few hours later with all kinds of interesting people. We got pictures of a mandolin player named Peter, who seemed concerned about cutting his beard when he seen the pictures Chrissy took of him, but he loved his mandolin. Another man that we seen was this man that believes that there is only one God, Allah. He literally prayed for 30 minutes multiple times, which included kissing the ground, hand motions, and some singing here and there. Somebody gave this man an American flag and he took it, but soon after it was gone. There was also this man that went around telling all religions to separate and get together to stay away from the Pagan people because they will kill you, that went on for hours. And there were the Pagans, who believe in Gods and Goddesses and that every rock, tree, well pretty much everything has a spirit to them. I don't know much about them, but judging by the first impressions I got, it was a little to different, especially because of the 7' tall man in leather guarding the group by walking in a circle around them. This man looked as if he was dressed to fight in the 1800s. It was a great time and Chrissy was pretty awesome.
