The Reason.

On the way to our rehearsal on Saturday

Rehearsal and Logistics

Around the hotel. Breakfast anyone?

But we felt safe... the Pentagon was close-by.

Fußball on the National Mall

View from the tower of the Old Post Office

The impressive National Cathedral overlooks a sea of grey buildings

A closer look: The Capitol.

Inside the old Post Office: fast food and cheap souvenirs. And metal detectors at the entrance...

Three generations on the Mall.

Drummer near the Mall

Hirshorn Museum...

...and sculpture garden.

Great old architecture on the Mall

Polish Sausage near the White House

Greek columns in the evening sun

An Egyptian... uhm... The Washington Monument

Soldiers at the World War II Memorial

Remembering...

...together...

...while Lincoln watches from his throne.

After it got dark...

...I took the Red Line Metro to meet up with some choir-buddies for dinner.

Back to the hotel: Advertising at the Metro station

On Sunday, we finally did what we had come for. Singing and listening... David Arcus at the Organ.

It was a great weekend - thanks to all who contributed!
