The Nation’s Capital…

A day in Washington, DC. We started out on The Mall, where this mounted policewoman and her horse were greeting tourists.

The Mall itself is under construction, which definitely takes away much of the majesty of our nation’s capital.

I visited the National gallery while Eddie and Brian went to the Air & Space Museum. I went to see and exhibit of street photography and another featuring drawings by Picasso. Photography wasn’t allowed in the galleries I visited, but on the way I passed through a gallery of Degas ballet dancers.

the National Gallery is a class act — even in the anteroom of the ladies’ bathroom.
