more dc walks

Walking in D.C. was an absolute joy. Here's the tail end of my Saturday walk. I realize I am days behind in my updates. A fickle computer is delaying posting by shutting down at random. I think it is the universe trying to teach me patience. . .

As we were walking towards the Jefferson Monument, we came across this collectin of black cars. Hmmm. Which important person was in this building, anyway? We saw a motorcade the day before that involved cars that looked just like this, along with a dozen or so police on motorcycles.

Yet another shot of our nation's capitol.

We wandered down 14th street until we couldn't go any further and then snuck over to 15th between 2 important looking buildings. This squad was parked there, but the police were no where to be seen.

Behold. The Jefferson Monument from afar. I haven't been here in over 25 years. I couldn't wait to see it again.

As I was taking it in, this helicopter came barreling by.

Here it is.

Thomas Jefferson.

The sun was setting as we were leaving. The White House is in the distance in the middle of the frame.

The sun setting over the basin.

Leaving, with the Memorial all lit up.

From the Jefferson Memorial.

I could hardly turn away I was so fascinated by this view.

My 5 mile walk this morning wasn't nearly as eventful.

Nonetheless, I'll be blogging about it soon.
