Travel pool note #13: Departing the presidential compound

Pool held for a bit in an auditorium in the main building at the Presidential Complex and loaded into the vans around 5:25 p.m.

Pool did not see POTUS enter the Beast, but we are rolling as of 5:55 p.m.

Also a fun, but now painfully obvious, fact: The color of the carpets I was describing as aqua are very clearly turquoise. (Because, of course, “turquoise” is derived from the French word for Turkish; and turquoise came through Turkey to Europe, likely from Iran and Egypt.)
