Day in DC

On our way to New Jersey for my brother’s older son’s Princeton graduation, Liis and I spent May 28, 2011, in Washington DC. Only four days after Liis’ U.S. citizenship ceremony, it was instructive to be in the nation’s capitol and experience demonstrations in front of the White House, exemplifying what she’d studied in preparation for her citizenship exam. We ambled around the mall and White House areas on a very warm day, with no particular goal in mind.
