Escapes

Temps have gotten down to the 70's (24-25C) so it's time to go back to walking in the city.  Today we focus on little-known places of quiet escape right off the National Mall.

 National Gallery
Smithsonian
(between the Hirshhorn & Arts & Industries)

Does this look like the middle of one of the busiest & most touristed parts of the country?

  1. Wonderful escapes. I could spend days there. Exploring with the masses and escaping without them. Beautiful!

  2. Looks very peaceful. You probably don't need those National Guardsmen patrolling.

    1. When last I heard, they ended up trimming hedges and picking up trash in the parks. Methinks they were displeased with the assignment.

  3. I want to see the Smithsonian before The Felon destroys it.
