After 2 days of muggy humidity, Sunday dawned in DC, weather glorious. Arrived safely by train from Boston - a totally different world! Imperial DC.
Went for a lovely walk along the canal in Georgetown. They were hauling a canal boat along the Chesapeake and Ohio canal in Georgetown and then had it pulled by Mules: the people were dressed in 19th Century clothes. It was very pretty.
We then walked over the Key Bridge where Emma and I watched the fireworks on July 4th, then down along the Potomac to Arlington Bridge, then back across the Potomac to the Lincoln Memorial, and up 23rd street past Hilary Clinton's office.
Lovely temperature. The Presidents Helicopter flies overhead regularly, very low. DC is a very subdued city, it has a quiet but but very subtle sense of power.
