We'd seen a tented area in the street near one of the Metro stations yesterday, but hadn't really taken much notice. We realised today what it was all about. The Washington International Horse Show is taking place, and the long tented areas (three of them) are for stabling the horses. As we were walking by a huge, shiny horse box/truck drew up and six or seven horses were led out and into the arena.
We managed to buy theatre tickets from the half price shop this morning and went to "The Way of the World" at the Shakespeare Theatre this evening. The plot was extremely complicated, not helped by technical problems with the lighting. Dave decided to duck out at the interval and go to a sports bar to see the World Series baseball game, but I stayed on and fortunately the second half was much better.

Hope you are rooting for the Rays - or local team from just up the road. They were 200-1 against at the beginning of the season and have a meagre budget compared to all the big boys. OK, they lost last night, but just you wait...
Much enjoying the blog, keep up the good work and excellent pics.
We're in St Pete now so if you get a spare mo (which sounds unlikely) gve us a buzz.

Your pictures are very good, however I think you should have considered taking a professional photographer to document your trip properly.
