Ioann's Story from Washington D.C.

Pa and I were going to the March for Life. At first, our GPS kept switching our directions right as we were making the turn to where it told us to go. This happened several times, which barely left enough time to meet up with the rest of the [Orthodox] group at the March. Once we made it close, only two cars from our turn, a policewoman blocked off the street in front of us. We could not go forward and there was no room to turn around; people could not even walk across the street.

At first we didn't know why we were blocked off, because nothing was happening yet with the March, but after about five minutes, we saw Trump's motorcade pass by.

We did not realize what it was, at first, so we missed seeing "The Beast", Trump's car, but then seeing such a long line of blacked-out SUVs and cars, we realized that it was Trump's motorcade. Pa and I most liked the globe antenna on one of the "antenna cars", an antenna made to keep an eye on planes in the sky over the motorcade, but seeing those cars loaded with dozens of antennas and a line of twenty or so cars was quite amazing.

We did not make it to the March, but at least we saw Trump's motorcade.
