We spent a few days in Washington, D.C. And saw many sites and sights including the Capitol, Air and Space Museum, Native American Museum, National Gallery.

Olof thought a night time bus tour of the monuments would be fun!!!

Luckily the weather cleared. I think I see Barack waving and saying, “Hello, Olof from Sweden”.

The Pentagon Memorial was so beautifully designed.

It’s a deceptively simple design. There is no distinction between passengers and Pentagon employees. The names are listed alphabetically, the benches are arranged by birthdate of the individuals, with the youngest at one end and the oldest at the other. Each bench has the name of a victim on the end and a small flowing water feature below. The only difference between those on the plane and those on the ground is that in reading the names of the former you are looking toward the sky and in reading the names of the latter you are looking at the Pentagon.
