Washington D.C. was full of joggers with leashed dogs, tourists from other countries, and police. Every cop was pleasant and helpful, but one has to go through metal detectors at each federal building. I did not spy a single cat, just plenty of homeless folks sleeping on the sidewalks. Happy to be home now, for a couple of days of staycation.

ReplyDeleteGlad you got to see so much while you were there. That is a great magnet. My hubby and I went there 5 years ago to see the cherry blossoms. It bothered me that the cabs were all different colors instead of yellow :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you saw a lot during your visit! I have never been to the Shakespeare Library. That would be a treat. I bet the kitties were glad to have you home! :-)
