Some pix of Washington, D.C. today. We really enjoyed being in Georgetown and it was very convenient for Jim since Georgetown University was right there. Very expensive real estate. John Kerry owns a home there worth 7 million US. Where JFK lived as a senator and when he was first married to Jackie before becoming president. Also where Jackie bought a home after his assassination but soon fled to NYC because of security concerns. I can see why they referred to the village as their "beloved Georgetown". Wonderful restaurants and shops...almost no chain stores.


Georgetown University. The only university on our travels where there were loads of empty computers with internet access.


Some colourful townhouses in Georgetown.


Some shops and restaurant fronts in Georgetown.


The house Jackie K. bought after the assassination.


Lincoln Memorial.


The great man himself...what a fabulous statue!


Don't imagine there's much joy in this building these days.
