It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas..happy holidays from Washington, DC 🎄

10/15/2023

Pouring rain couldn’t stop us: We scored tickets for the White House Garden Tour. Twice a year the President and First Lady open their backyard and a happy few ticket holders can tour the amazing White House grounds. So close to the Oval Office and the President’s Beast - his official limousine - you will never get again. Sandra & Frank from Bonn were in awe! A true DC adventure.

It’s a glowing Christmas Time in Georgetown. Art installations in Washington’s oldest neighborhood celebrate the season with unique works of light and color.
Georgetown Glow is on view till January 22💫✨

World class contemporary art just got a new home in the nation’s capital. The fantastic Rubell Museum in Southwest DC opened after a decade in the making. Mera and Don Rubell, two of the most influential art collectors of our time, transformed the former Randall Junior High School into an exciting exhibition space. It’s their long-awaited second location - the original Rubell Museum is in Miami - and a must-see for every art enthusiast.

Congratulations to Gina Lückenkemper for being the fastest woman in Europe and winning the 100m gold 🥇
We toured the highlights of Washington, DC with fellow German canoeist Franziska Weber & Tina Dietze 6 years ago.
Big shout out to all women athletes! You ROCK!

Great Best-Of-DC Tour with Norbert Totschnig, Austria’s Secretary of Agriculture. And of course our first stop was at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farmers Market. The freshest fruits and vegetables on the National Mall. My personal perk: Manner Schnitten directly from Austria❤️🤍❤️

Washington,DC is a great place for street art. And the ultimate insider for all things graffiti and murals is Jason Bowers. We toured the NoMa and Union Market neighborhood with him and had a blast.
Jason knows every artist personally. He also founded a street art festival in DC.
Perfect way to spend a sunny but cold morning in the city.

Alma Woodsey Thomas used her unique
strokes of color to define beauty. And beauty she saw all around her.
Great show of the beloved Washington, DC artist at The Phillips Collection. Alma W. Thomas was the first African American woman to receive a solo exhibition at Whitney Museum of American Art. She was an art teacher in a segregated DC school for 35 years. When the Obamas hung a Thomas painting in their White House dining room they inspired a renaissance of the artist and her work.
Alma W Thomas:
“Through color, I have sought to concentrate on beauty and happiness, rather than on man’s inhumanity to man.”

A new stunning rooftop bar is coming to DC: Ciel Social Club at the AC Hotel Washington DC Convention Center. I had a sneak peek before the grand opening next week & absolutely loved it!
Checked out the funky Moxy Washington, DC Downtown and the brand new Courtyard Washington, DC/Dupont Circle.
Great fun hotels for your stay in DC.
Thank you Erich & Jessica from Marriot Hotels for a perfect tour.

Great Shaw & Blagden Alley Tour with the legal and consular team of the German Embassy, Washington, D.C.
Black Broadway, Duke Ellington and lots of African American History.
Fall days are the best in DC.
So happy to be touring the city again.
Many thanks to a wonderful German Embassy Group🇩🇪🖤❤️💛

One white flag for every life lost to COVID-19 in the United States. Over 700.000 deaths and counting. Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg’s art installation “In America: Remember” is sobering and devastating.
20 acres of tiny flags on the National Mall. The dimension of loss is incomprehensible. A National Goodbye.

Great tour with the one and only Katie Kirkpatrick from Off The Mall Tours. She introduced us to the MADAMS OF DC. These women of the night reigned a sprawling red-light district in the heart of Washington, DC, during the Civil War.
Katie always dresses for the occasion. Loved the outfit and the tour!

Washington DC’s museums are slowly reopening. I have already been to the The Phillips Collection’s new show twice: SEEING DIFFERENTLY. To commemorate the museum’s 100th Birthday, highlights of the collection are presented in a truly spectacular way.
My all time favorite is Leo Villareal’s light installation SCRAMBLE. Mesmerizing & so calming.
Can’t wait to go back to all of DC’s fantastic museums soon!

Bernie is in town. With his world famous mittens and relaxed demeanor the Vermont Senator is the newest attraction at the White House Gift Shop. There is of course lots of Biden and Harris merchandise too.

Other parts of Washington, DC remain closed up and heavily guarded. I took a stroll on this cold winter afternoon along the White House and Capitol. The National Guard protecting both were probably freezing but waving back at me friendly. The 9 feet fence around the 2 most important buildings looks intimidating and heartbreaking.

So much in this city still has to heal.
