DC Trip Day 7 - I started the day by hitching a ride into town with Genna, on her way to work. I got out at the WW II Memorial to sketch the view down to the Lincoln Memorial. It was sort of a grey day, so all the colors are muted. Lots of helicopters, geese, sirens, a multitude of languages around me - typical D.C. Chatted with some very nice people while I sketched. Later I headed off to Capitol Hill to Eastern Market, but that was not as successful.
