I swung through Washington, DC and met up with some old friends, and snapped a few quick pictures of the landmarks.
At the U.S. Navy Memorial, they had hunky young sailors going through a complicated routine
complete with synchronized butt-slapping. So much for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell!"

My friend Richard and I had lunch. Richard is a historian working for the National Archives,
so this is him standing in front of his office.
|
The national phallic symbol.
|
The source of so much misery at the moment.
|
A bunch of TV and microwave towers in Northwest.
|
The old Post Office Pavillion.
|
The view of Washington from the roof of my friend Erich's building.
|
|
Erich standing by the door to his company's building.
|
The Capitol.
|
The Washington Monument, seen from the Mall side.
|
The National Archives seen from the front.
|
The Capitol seen from Pennsylvanic avenue.
|
The courthouse where the Monica Lewinsky trial was being held. This was a drive-by shot--sorry about the angle.
|
The new building where the Carpenter's union headquarters used to be.
|
Union Station.
|
Union Station again.
|
The Supreme Court.
|
The Lincoln Memorial (another drive-by shot).
|
My friend Ron. We got together at his office in Alexandria for lunch.
|
The new stadium at the University of Maryland. Looks like it is about twice the size
of the old one.
|
The campus Chapel. The bell chimes "Maryland My Maryland" (same tune as "Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree").
|
The Main Dining Hall. You can see the antenna for WMUC, the campus FM station I used to work at
on the roof. Because it was between semesters, everything at the station was closed up and locked.
