Washington, D.C.
We hit one of the most beautiful cities in America last night at dusk, and had dinner with Matt Welch and Emmanuelle Richard, whose latest co-production was a really darling baby. There's the capital building off in the distance.
We just stopped here enroute -- to see Matt, Emmanuelle, and the monuments -- but we might pop in at the Library of Congress today (two nerds on the road, what can I say?) to take a look at Jefferson's books.

Library of Congress TOTALLY worth it -- and if you want to see the main reading room and don't have a library card, email me and I'll tell you how to get one in about 15 mins.
Give my love to DC -- it's my favorite American city these days too.
Oh, and, let's get together when you're back.

Later, Gregg pointed out, to my amusement, that I did it across from Bank of America -- probably their Washington corporate center, near the Treasury. So we never got there, but it's reason to go back. And I wish I could've seen Jefferson's books!
Would love to see you when I'm back. Finishing the last chapter of my book, but I'll be here all of November.

So, the rest of DC, outside the Mall area, has been restored over the last few years? I was there 10 years ago, and about a mile from the Capitol, DC turned into trash. I hope they've fixed it up.
