Ten Ninety
Arlington Hemicycle
The hemicycle houses the Women In Military Service for America memorial at Arlington Cemetery and is fronted by one of Washington's many reflecting pools.
My wife and I took a moment to contemplate the tranquil scene, until the peace was broken by a military policewoman yelling commands at a coach driver (presumably German, as he seemed to be having trouble understanding her) who'd evidently missed the turn for the visitor centre and was trying to drive his busload of gawking Euro sightseers straight into the heart of the cemetery.
The dimwit driver eventually got the message in the end and backed up. As the policewoman returned to her position she shared a look of exasperation with us. She did well to not mention the war, I felt.
