Well we made it safely – if a little exhausted – having to sit in economy from LA to DC – life’s a bugger!

Beautiful location we chose (by accident) for our “digs” – in Foggy Bottom – just next to Georgetown.

Spent yesterday doing the Red Bus tour of the memorials (and aint there a lot) then walked the Mall to visit the Smithsonian attractions, the Freer Gallery, the botanical gardens, the Capitol building etc, etc.

Finished off with Dinner on the Waterfront (of the Potomac River) – at Nick’s Grill (note to self – one American main course is quite enough – for two people).

Today we walk to Georgetown for more fun.
