Washington Rediscovered: Year 4

I think we're in Washington to stay now after living overseas with the State Department for most of the past 35 years, including postings in Canberra, Tokyo, Ankara, Okinawa, Ankara again, Budapest and Riyadh. While I prefer living outside the country for all the fascinating cultural experiences as well as the photo ops of new and exciting places, there is still much to discover in my own backyard.

A superb report about your place of life. The images of your daily life are our exotic images...
In these difficult times, we rediscover what is very close to home and what we had a tendency to see no more… Be well!
Daniel and Nadine.
