Check out the BBC’s blog style reporting to this morning’s London bombings. You get a real on the street feel to what is going on.

We are vacationing in DC this week and are heading down to the Capitol Mall this morning. It will be interesting to see how much the security has been heightened.

Update (5:30pm): Just returned and we didn’t see much increased security activity in the Metro stations. We did notice a lot of security around the White House, including sharpshooters on the roof. That could be normal, though.
