Washington DC. Day one

Woke up in Washington DC. Hot and humid day but, heavy drizzle. Breakfast a bit of a non event not too impressed with the Hotel catering. Took a train into the city, a bit 9f sightseeing as one does, went to Capitol hill, pretty impress building as it goes. Then went to the supreme court building, qwhich has a large marble plaza in front of it. Sat on the steps, and had a surreal discussion about Brexit with a guy from Bournemouth, both agreed, had that vote been in the US, It would have been sorted by now. Don’t think there was much point petitioning here though.

So it was onto the Memorial, and the White House. And it absolutely threw it down. So another first, at 60 years of age I now own my first umbrella. Drowned rats, and in need of food, not impressed by the service in some places. But suitably refreshed and a little drier, it was onwards to the Andrew W Mellon building. Then back to the Hotel. Tired but happy as what despite the weather was a really good day. Thanks Kay, I’m glad I came.
