Annie at the Washington D.C. Temple. Our taxi driver told us that "Mormon" temple is the prettiest of all the temples in Washington. Our taxi drivers were all from African countries, first generation.
One of our GREAT restaurants, Filomena's in Georgetown, (she likes to decorate!) We saw the old stone house, the oldest building in the area, and then after a glorious day, walked across the Key Bridge to our hotel and a wonderful bed!













The next morning we took a shuttle to Annapolis and discovered that our hotel was two doors down from the Market Slip, were the slaves, (including Kinta Kunta of Roots fame) were unloaded to be sold behind the taverns. The waterway is lined with quotes from Roots and a peaceful, beautiful place for all the tragedy that happened there.
Our shuttle driver couldn't imagine why we wanted to leave at 8:15 am to go to Annapolis???!!## It was, however the perfect day to the end of a perfect trip, to have wind and just enough people for our Chesapeake cruise. Captain, Jack and his Crew Hannah and Kate, with a few draftees for good measure!
