It had been a while since my last visit to DC, but I was there again just last week - great to be back! And I've seen almost everything worth seeing, with several exceptions including the International Spy Museum. So off I went - and it was indeed a way cool experience!  So much fascinating stuff; one of the things I was most hoping to see was info on the murder of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov in London with a poison-tipped umbrella. And sure enough, there was the umbrella - well, not THE umbrella, but a replica.  Some of it was a little 'Hollywood,' but hey, I don't begrudge them that. Overall, highly recommended!!

Hi,

 

I would like to know if members from this group would like to meet in either Dupont or downtown to get to know each other and share experiences. Let me if interested and if so I'll set something up.

Anybody read Dan Brown's latest, The Lost Symbol? Just finished it, and literary quality aside (as usual, it's all rather overheated and mildly silly), the DC-travelogue aspect is really something. As I read in a recent piece on the subject, "you'll never look at the Washington Monument the same way again""!

Just heard about cool-sounding digs I'm going to try next time I'm in DC: the Morrison-Clark Historic Hotel & Restaurant, a pair of connected, antiques- and repro-crammed 1864 mansions. Centrally located near downtown, and with base rates starting at $99, plus a 10% discount for booking online. (1015 L St. NW; 800.332.7898; www.MorrisonClark.com).
