Yes, the crowds were unbelievable! Unfortunately, some of the reenactors behaved very rudely which put a bit of a dent to the whole thing and I was glad that Scott did only hear about it afterwards since he suggested a good talk down.
But we settled on the conclusion that those people were probably given some false info to begin with which might explain their very inappropriate behavior.
But apart from the incident at the train station, the mood, all day long, was one of kindness and just sheer Lincoln love.
All day long, complete strangers just stopped whatever they were doing to talk to each other. It was unbelievable to be a part of such feeling of unity and I feel utterly grateful as the day concludes.
