DC Notes

Back from a whirlwind, action-packed four days in Washington, DC. And it was HOT. High spots:

We toured the U. S. Capitol, courtesy of Caro's Peace Corps friend R. J., who works for a Congressman.



Great tiled floors in the Capitol. Never knew that before.


The ladies of Seneca Falls--Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and Susan B. Anthony. Nice to see them honored in this way in the Capitol Rotunda.

We did lots of walking and gawking. This door below was on a house near the Textile Museum, which was a very cool place to spend an afternoon. And not nearly as crowded as the Smithsonian on a holiday weekend.



We paid a visit to this creature, Lord Cameron, who hangs out in the window of a Connecticut Avenue consignment shop (Tonya--just about directly across the street from Wake Up Little Suzie!) There's something repulsively intriguing about Lord Cameron, and he surely has a face only his mother could love.


And I DID get to enjoy that pitcher of sangria with Will and Caro, at Jazz in the Garden. Lovely.

Sounds like a great time. Pitcher of Sangria would just hit the spot. That is a freaky looking cat. aiyee. Now I'll think of him staring at me as I go to Little Susie.

Oh what fun pictures! That door is so intriguing, but my favorite is that tile floor! Very cool!
