bailed up in a fabulous hotel....Onmi Shoreham...800+ rooms, 3 restaurants, shops, and a awesome lobby......also a generator .....an enforced lay day....but who's complaining? ...
We have stitching..whoopee pies...and good company!
No trains, buses, gov agencies, schools open.....lots of rain ..but the storm will not hit us for a few hours....
We arrived yesterday by train and quickly dashed out to see what we could before Sandy hit.
Walked for miles, from Union Station to Capitol Hill then approx 1 mile past the museums to the Washington Monument, then to The White House....As we passed....police dashed out and blocked off the road...a motorcade of 6 cars exited..but it wasn't Obama...he has about 24 cars when he goes anywhere....still exciting....it could have been him!! ....so close!
Washington reminds me a lot of Canberra only a Lot bigger!
it is beautiful but soooo different to NY.
to finish...a squirrel ....so cute!
Location:Washington DC
Looks like a hoot...is the company good? Stay safe!
