The memorial was buzzing with tourists, many of them taking a picture with the giant Lincoln statue; it reminded me of the giant statues of Zeus that appear in movies with its commanding presence. In proportion to the room, it looked as if the statue is a life-sized person looking down on the tourists, small as mice.

The presence of the displays and information added to the depth of the place.

One of the most memorable parts of the night is near the end of our visit. I was walking with two or three friends by the water and we discovered the hard way that the mosquitoes have laid claim to the air near the water. However, their invasion and the heat were not enough to dampen our spirits.
