The Senate Bldg. - Washington, D.C.




Behind these two high school classmates many years ago is the Supreme Court of the U.S.A. -Washington, D.C. Tapas was my 2nd HS classmate who visited me here in Uncle Sam's country. The first one was Cynthia Risma Degracia and co. when I was still residing in Washington, D.C. Indeed, that was a lot of experience ... happy one despite of sinardinas in a cozy corner ..... I love recalling it..... just as this visit too!

With considerable distance from where Bic was standing in the above pix, the Speaker, who could be standing at John Quincy Adams' plate could hear her talking thru that hole below the said plate. hagas-hagas permi 'coz 'Silence' is always observed.

The White House -the residence of the Pres. of the USA in Washington, D.C.
"Simplicity is beauty, though, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder."




The view at one side of the White House where the President of the USA from his window sees the National Mall all the way through the Washington Monument to the Jefferson Memorial in Virginia across Potomac River. Down here along this side also, is the Rose Garden. Here too, the helicopter of the President lands when he returns from his local trips/visits etc.



This is the other side of the White House facing Penn. Ave. where my classmate, his wife and I went to. Wara na kami ka tuyok kay wara na oras. We were heading to another event ... pakulo that night.


Nice pose of the lovely couple, Taps and Bic, in front of the White House. Hari sa karsada, gapatunga hehe! ... gasalig .... balitaw waray maka sud na bisan uno na sakyanan kundili kanan Puti na Bay da or VIP cars only.

Dinner tendered by my sister's daughter at a Japanese restaurant before the event started. With us were her co-workers. Sorry, not good, not my type of food. No choice as it was near the site. And because of this dinner, we lost our very good space, especially Tapas. Plantada gawo adto. Sorry guys! Awful but great experience!


In downtown Washington, D.C. on our way home to the train station. My parente was left with her co-workers who took shots with the participants. Dali da, human dayon ... agaw pila da say dagan, tignawi pa.... pero kigudi ... ayay, sa cenibuhano pa .... "Usob pay maglayog! di na gyud ko. That was it."
