Exhaustion sets in


Visiting Dignitaries, The White House, DC


Flopped in the Lobby of this palatial hotel after a loong day of sightseeing in Washington. The weather is perfect and headed hotter - 86F on Wednesday which probably puts an end to our chances of catching Autumn colour in Boston. We need cold.



Touching my lucky penny at Lincoln's feet.
After 2 weeks living out of suitcases and changing rooms each night, tiredness set in with a vengeance today. We began late, at 8.20am with an excellent 4 hour tour of the monuments and history with a local guide. A quiet Sunday was ideal for wandering through Arlington Cemetery, the Korean and Vietnam war memorials (I'm with the critics on the latter),



Gen. RL Lee's former pad before he deserted the Northern cause.
