The end of the day










We went to Georgetown on the waterfront for dinner after visiting the townhouse. It was so relaxing. Jimmy talked to Aunt Ali on the phone for a while. We so wished she could have been with us. It started to get dark after dinner so we took a taxi to the Lincoln Memorial. The night was warm and still. The memorial was lit up as was the Washington Monument which then lit up the reflecting pool between the two. It was 10 pm and people were still visiting President Lincoln on this late Sunday night. It was hushed and many of the men were in suits. Very surreal. And lovely.
The first few pics are at the waterfront. The middle ones are on the steps of the Lincoln. The second to last one is me sitting on Einstein which is Jimmy's favorite 'monument' in DC. If you stand right in front of him with your toes on one certain spot you can hear your own echo but no one else can hear it. Very interesting. The last picture is Jimmy hailing a cab for us. I particularly enjoy watching him hail a cab, of all things-lol. He has those long legs, he goes right out into the middle of the lanes of oncoming traffic, throws up that long right arm and gives a loud shout. He is confident and aggressive. I love that. I love him.
