Here are some shots of the route from Atlantic City to wash DC. Meeting Betty & her mom Elsie Patricia gave lessons to betty before getting this great job in Wash DC. as the Assistant Historian in the U.S. Senate, after dinner at their apartment they took us for a great tour around the city & it was great. We would of been lost forever if I was driving. Elsie is celebrating her 88th birthday this week so we got to sing her "Happy Birthday" and play her a few songs on Betty's piano.This place is under alot of construction & the streets are very confusing. The Metro system is really cool. What is wrong with SB the traffic in-between SB & Ventura. All they need to build is one of these systems!! There is a whole new city under the ground, with these rail ways. We thank Betty for her hospitality here in the Capitol. We had a Blast!!! |
She was great-- showed us all special places. What a treat!! Security was over whelming. We felt so special going where most can not any more. Betty has her Ph.D. Degree in history so you can imagine what a tour guide she is!! We knew we were going down to her office to see where she works but didn't know what she had planned for us. Needless to say, this is a day we won't ever forget. We feel pretty smug now that we have been on the metro twice and successfully. Bye for now Love, Patricia |
