We were in Washington, D.C. and we stayed in a really nice place in Georgetown where John Kennedy had a home while he was a senator and before he moved into the White House. Jim was doing research at Georgetown University so it was very well located. Also, it was a safe neighbourhood and had lots of really great restaurants. I walked by the former Kennedy home pretty much daily.
Jim and I went to the White House area and saw the wonderful Lincoln Memorial. I recall peering through a fence at the White House so access didn't really seem very possible.
Linda emailed me this yesterday...quite interesting.

I'm usually pretty comfortable taking transit visiting art galleries, museums, etc. in these variou places Jim has done his research but I only took taxis in Washington. There are just too many problematic areas and I just didn't want to find myself in a provacative or dangerous situation. Just being a white woman could be a problem.
President John F. Kennedy's Georgetown residence, where he was said to have met his future wife, Jacqueline Bouvier, has sold for $4.2 million—$475,000 below the asking price. The former president lived in the red brick, three-bedroom house with his sister, Eunice, from 1949 to 1951. This period was especially important in JFK's life, as it was when he represented Massachusetts in the Senate and prepared for his presidential campaign. The Washington, D.C. home is certainly fit for a prominent politician, with its prime location, stunning views, and two outdoor spaces for entertaining. The house was originally built in 1800, so it has a lot of historic charm, though has been elegantly upgraded by renowned architect Richard Foster and preeminent builder Tom Glass.
And remembering Neil Ornstein on this day. Neil passed away January 15, 2019. We miss him but have many wonderful memories of our times together.
