We spent the week between Christmas and New Years in D.C. Erin and Kelly hosted a dinner for us at Erin's teensy apartment. Jim calls it the "shipping container" because of its size (465 sf/, but it is really cute and decorated with the items Erin has collected on her substantial world travels. She also has a painting which she commissioned from a friend of her's, also an RPCV (returned Peace Corps volunteer), representing her time in Boungel, Mali. I love it.
Of course we visited many place in D.C. but impossible to see it all in just a few days. Besides the Smithsonian Art Gallery we walked the mall. My favorite of the war memorials was the one for the Korean war. The white stautes of the men in the field made me think they had perished in the war on an operation and were perplexed as to where they were. The National Cathedral reminded me of Notre Dame. We especially liked the sculpure over the entrance which took stonemasons several years to complete.
