America
Another Day
At the FSI.
Such a deep blue sky today
I had to get out and take some photos of nature. The contrast with the dark shade of blue is really beautiful. These photos are untouched, not photoshopped. Straight from my iPhone camera.
You haven’t had a cookie
Until you’ve had a cookie at the National Building Museum.
Also, the building itself is magnificent. Almost as impressive as the cookies.
All I want for Christmas
Is this cup of hazelnut coffee, made with real hazelnuts, with a splash of egg nog added to it.
God Bless America
I dream about this when I live abroad.
This is not a political post
It’s a thought-provoking quote from an article in Time magazine, on the nature of the presidency:
“No president, whether having served for many years or a partial term, has stepped away with his work complete, nor without some baggage left behind in the Oval Office. The presidency is a relay race with no known finish line, and America’s challenges and opportunities persist through each passing of the baton.”

Enjoying the Season
Even though we are crazy busy with language classes, we are also trying to take advantage of the seasonal festivities in DC.
The Botanical Gardens, near the Capitol on the Mall, has a series of evening music programs.
Last night was a good program of Christmas jazz.
