Two days in DC

Our hotel is in the embassy of small countries area of DuPont Circle. It has been interesting walking back and forth to the Metro.

Yesterday we had lunch in a French bistro in Kensington with Janet Stollnitz and Ruth Blau. And dinner in a Spanish place in Ballston with Vim and Charles Maguire.

Today we caught up, with the help of mobile phone talks, with Lois Dean at the Cezanne portraits exhibition at the Nat Gallery. Our way was impeded by a huge mass of bar-b-que enthusiasts.

Tonight we had a very good Indian meal locally.

Tomorrow morning we fly to Seattle. Thanks to an email from United we will only have to be at the airport 45mins before the flight. . . not the 2hours earlier that Jo had assumed. It makes a difference for an 8:30 flight from an aiport an hour’s drive away!
