Driving down Independence

by grandmaR - last update: May 8, 2003

Washington in the spring
These are pictures that I took from the car while I was on my way to have some tests done at the hospital. This picture is of the Capitol grounds from Independence Ave.
Map of area with drawings
It really helps if you have a map with little drawings of the buildings so you can identify them from a distance, and also ID your pictures afterwards<g>.
Construction in area Museum of American Indian
Just about every block is some construction or other. And streets in DC are constantly being torn up. We went through an area where the manholes have been blowing up and the whole street was a patchwork of steel plates. And of course since 9-11 there are Jersey barriers all over the place adding to the confusion.
