I’ve been watching the live coverage of the inauguration events on CNN.com, and noticed that one of the feeds was focused on something called the Newseum. Wondering how far away the Canadian Embassy was from this landmark, I did some Google map searches, and was astonished to discover that the Embassy is just next door to the Newseum! (The Newseum is the glass-lined building on the left in the above photo.) How amazing that I can watch the crowd-filled streets in front of the Newseum and know that the Chorale is seeing the exact same view. The outdoor rotunda where the Chorale was scheduled to perform can be seen in the centre of the photo.
