| Washington, George~standing guard over his university |
Took an international student into DC this morning to connect with her mother who is is town for a short-term gig. I was going to explore the Eastern Market~which is a bit like the Ferry Plaza in SF, but there was a lot of metro construction and it involved shuttle busses.
Since it was a cool day, decided to just walk The Mall.
It was soothing to spend time with a president who was a thoughtful and steady leader.
Beauty even at the foot level. This outing was good on so many levels~one of which is the bloody fire alarms going off for hours. Every time it's damp or humid, they start looping. SOOOOOO glad that I have only twenty-five more nights to spend here.
If that school can't fix their loopy fire alarm system, no wonder they can't afford to keep a talented teacher.
ReplyDeleteEveryone's a little cranky in our building today!
DeleteI got to watch, many, many times as workmen on hands and knees tapped those little cobblestones into place in Scotland - in Edinburgh, in Glasgow, and other wee towns. They're everywhere, and they're all the same; little squares of granite in pleasing shapes or sometimes just in lines. They are an absolute beast in heels on a rainy night, however... one learns rapidly to stick with Cuban heels or sturdy platforms...
ReplyDeleteTjey're fairly deadly in flats as well! But, oj so pretty.
