Washington, DC (USA)

[Mollie came to work with me again - earlier in the day this time - got some important stuff finished up before we walked over to the Smithsonian (National Gallery this time) - spent several hours (roughly 1430 to 1630) visiting special exhibits (Impressionists, Byzantine art) - it was cold out, but we walked around on the Mall for a while afterwards, and returned to my office via L'Enfant Plaza food court and St. Dominic's (we saw lots of pretty Christmas decorations there, including an indoor creche) - headed home around 1700L (traffic jam) - since there wasn't much food at the house, we ate dinner at a nearby Baja Fresh for the first time (good)]
