I’m in DC for an event tonight - when I’m here I enjoy visiting someplace new to me. Yesterday it was the Library of Congress with its beautiful reading room, and a couple of great exhibits. An original Gutenberg Bible is on display in the Great Hall. The photography collection exhibit included the first known photo of Lincoln as well as a “hats as architecture” at New York’s Guggenheim. The exhibit about memories included a gorgeous hooked rug depicting the artist’s mother reading a book in a cherry tree. During the walk over I strolled past the Supreme Court and Capitol. Washington is in full bloom!
The joys of travel - unanticipated treats such as this marching band in Stockholm as viewed from our windy, rainy hotel balcony - I LOVE stuff like this! It started at noon with what sounded like thunder - it was actually a cannon shot from a sailing ship at the stroke of 12 - then this marching band came around the corner. It’s the Changing of the Guard which occurs daily during the summer - here’s a link with more information:

10 seconds of zen - silent windmills and water lapping sounds as we wait our turn to go through a lock on our way to the North Sea and Veere 😌#EmeraldMoments @emeraldcruises.global @giftedtravelnetwork #RiverCruising

Seriously one of the loveliest landscapes I’ve ever seen (or waterscape?) This is at the Natural Bridge in Jasper National Park, B.C., Canada, near the Emerald Lake. #Breathtaking We were on a brief trip as part of our @RockyMountaineer “Passage to the West at Great Leisure” - which started in Calgary, then on to Lake Louise and Banff where we boarded the luxurious and comfortable train cars for 2 days on the rails. We de-trained in Vancouver after an overnight in Kamloops. Lovely Memories! #Canada #BritishColumbia #JasperNationalPark #FairmontHotels @fairmontpalliser @fairmontcll @fairmontbanff @fairmontwaterfront @virtuosoltd @giftedtravelnetwork #UseATravelAdvisor

An example of one of the installations at #MeowWolf #Denver - a multi-story collection of installation art pieces - Mr. Tasteful said it reminds him of #WillyWonka - I thought it was more #PeeWeesPlayhouse #USATravel #VisitColorado #VisitDenver #ThanksgivingWeekend #Art #Imagination
