Returning to Dulles

 

An early start from Bath today to catch our flight back to the US.  A rainy drive up to Heathrow and then breakfast before we boarded the plane.

On arrival at Dulles a long wait in the immigration hall - two hours of queuing. 

Much more difficult for those arriving from countries covered by the new executive order as they waited to see whether they would be able to enter the US.

On entering the arrivals area there was a large gathering of supporters of refugees and those traveling from countries  affected by the order as well as anxious family members.  There was loud cheering as groups of travelers came through.  

 

These photos are not mine, they are borrowed from the web and show the crowds during the afternoon.  By the time we arrived there were larger crowds and many TV cameras and reporters as the Governor of Virginia was making a statement of support for the rally.
