WASHINGTON, DC (OCTOBER 12, 2009)

We had a 12 hour “on-the-road-day” today, which started at 7:00...
It was spent “doing” Washington, DC… America’s Capitol…
Unfortunately, we didn’t think about the weather before boarding our tour bus (14-seat van, actually), so we got a bit cold this morning, but we managed, and that’s what counts…
There’s so much to see and do in DC that our day here only scratched the surface…
To sum it up, we touched base with all the major monuments and memorials, but, of course, there are so many of them, that we could only spend a short time at each… Regrettable, but true…
Anyway, we had a great day, and, even though we had a cold start, it didn’t rain, so that was a blessing…
I spent 2 hours putting descriptions on my photos, and I’ve just about spent another 2 hours trying to upload them to Windows Live (we’re in the middle of a forest, which doesn’t help, and this is one of the very few places in the contiguous States which has iffy Verizon coverage) so, sorry, but there’ll be precious little to read here on the Blog this time…
I suggest (if you have nothing better to do) that you look at our pictures and read the descriptions… That’ll get you up to speed on our day…
Have fun… Take care, and keep in touch…

  1. What stories guys! More interresting every day. The battle of the Wilderness is possibly the most scary war story I have ever read about. A lot of Scandinavians also died here. A trough nightmare beyond imagination. I really wish I had joined you on this trip.
