WASHINGTON (CNN) — President-elect Barack Obama isn't back in Washington yet but the protestors have lined up to greet and remind him of a host of issues that await him following the swearing in. With construction on the presidential reviewing stand continuing and tourists snapping photos, protestors in orange prison jumpsuits unfurled signs to raise their voice on Guantanamo, the Gaza situation and Iraq.

A busy day. Most of us started the day with a mass. (Do you receive the eucharist when you're fasting? It's an open question.) Then we went to Dupont Circle and processed to the White House.

Most of the comments I heard were positive--other fasters heard some negative ones. In Lafayette Park, a woman said to her son, who must have been 8 years old, "Do you know what Guantanamo is?" "No..." "It's a bad prison George Bush opened."

After a short break, we joined the Little Friends for Peace "Peace Train" from their school to Union Station, where Obama was to be entering DC tonight. The kids at Little Friends made these boxes into train car costumes, decorated with their hopes for the new administration. We were wearing our orange jumpsuits, crowns, train cars, etc.
