Our plane on arrival at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). We had to queue for 90 minutes to get through immigration but at least our ESTAs (visa substitute for people from more prosperous countries) worked and once we got to the desk, we were handled quickly.
Timestamp error
For anyone interested in fine detail, note that I forgot to change the date in my camera so the timestamps on this image and all those of July 12 and 13 are +5 hours more than actual local time.

I would save the Union.
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery.
If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.
