First, I met Laura in Chicago... then George in Rome, and then he popped up in front of me again, in Washington...

I've had the chance to visit Washington on... now FIVE different occasions, in Summer, Winter and Spring, in the 80's and in the 90's, and now in the 2000's, so each trip was very different from another. This hasn't made me an expert, though, and this page features just the most basic places of this great town.

The picture above portraits a sunset on the Potomac River. It was one of my early attempts as an amateur photographer, during my childhood, back in the distant year of Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Nine...

    I work in Washington and am always interested in seeing someone else's impression of the city. Great page. But I would suggest using the Metro and leave the car parked outside of the city. Less traffic and no problem parking.
