First day in Washington

(tt) Johnny P and his partner, Greg, drove me and two other chums, Judy and Brian to Washington for the weekend culminating in seeing "Follies" at the Kennedy Centre.
Here is a taste of our first walk to The White House and beyond.
These are some of the colonial buildings the University fathers haven't bulldozed. Just near our 70's hotel.


From here down to the White House the Avenue held some great new buildings

This is the Mexican embassy wrapped around an old terrace









The Renwick was a family home and now, extension tastefully added, is a gallery





The Vice President's little home


The Blair House where VIPs stay and the President if they are wallpapering at home

You might be looking at a future president here


This was a wondrous sight. A Muslim at prayer, wonderful cries of joy to Allah. Let freedom ring!


Something to show Mom





You can't see it but a whirling helicopter had just dropped the President off at the rear of the House

The Treasury

Hotel Washington





That's the Capitol in the distance

The Willard. By now it had a Barcelona/ Madrid feel



Taste taste taste
When I take my sugar to tea

And now two other lone worshippers waving and prostrating before a blond Christ while tacky hymns blasted across the street



These guys probably won't see "Follies"




A bit of Austria



Now for some Mexican tucker.
