I spent the fourth of July with the family in Washington D.C. It was the first visit for me so I spent some time catching up on my American History in the sweltering heat. Having just come from Italy it was very interesting for me to note the Italian influences in the DC architecture. I also felt a strong French vibe, particularly around the basin which I later found out was designed by French- born architect Pierre Charles L’Enfant.
So to sum it up, I saw, I ate, I took pictures, and I learned some stuff. It was a good trip. Extremely hot but good.
What’s influencing you lately?
Things I’m happy about/looking forward to/grateful for this week:
– I did laundry!!!
– My pretty mani
– The Olympics
– It’s still summer
– I have a job
– You guys
