Sunday was a beautiful day in Georgetown. Despite that it was 85 degrees and humid, it was a perfect day to explore this quaint neighborhood in Washington DC. I decided to go to church with my friend Sean who is visiting from London. We went to the 10:00 AM service at Grace Church in lower Georgetown. Being Episcopalian I always enjoy visiting our churches whenever the opportunity presents itself. The church was built in 1866 and had beautiful grounds. it had the most beautiful pipe organ, and also a harpsichord, which is one of my favorite instruments. I dutifully sang my hymns, which put me in a great mood.

My photos are hard to see the detail, but I liked the row houses, and hanging flowers all along the streets.
I love all the little side streets and cozy areas to stop for a coffee or to shop. On Sunday morning there was a little jazz band playing outside, so it was a perfect place to relax over a muffin and the newspaper.

Above: The Jefferson Memorial- I forgot to post this photo yesterday. I saw it when I was doing all the tourist things. It is really quite beautiful.

Day 5 was a relaxing way to wind down my first 5 day trip. I flew back home late Sunday evening. On Wednesday I start another 5 day trip. So Rick's Roadshow shall return...
