These 3 perspective shots show the main monuments that all line up. The first shot taken from the other side of the Potomac River shows the Lincoln Memorial in front of the ??? and Capitol house in the background. This was taken from Bill's apartment where we were introduced to his Aussie Lawyer wife and new born daughter before heading out for a bite to eat. The other 2 were taken the next day when my cousin Louise and Fiancée Carl joined us for Sat and Sunday. They are both stem cell researchers in Boston. On the Saturday we went to the Air and Space Museum.

As you can see Drena and Louise found everything from the Wright Bros. plane to new space stations and landing craft very exciting. Carl and I think they may have nodded off in the Planetarium. After a quick visit to the Native American Museum however, we found the Botanic Garden Glass House and Drena's spirits improved.

There was even a rare & endangered species of Aussie flora – an ancient Wollemi pine in a very protective glass case.
