I visited DC in April 2005 and got both driving and subway connections to a number of DC sights.
The more personal images are below; there's also a page of

While in DC, I started reading The Bowl is Already Broken, a novel that deepened my experience of Washington, especially the Mall museums. I can recommend the author's Web site, too: Mary Kay Zuravleff.
