Sam Cummins' Bar Mitzvah was on the horizon, so we drove to Maryland in the rain and when we awoke and Ben got dressed we saw the remains of dinner on the table so we took the elevator down to the breakfast spread where we skipped the eggs and pears but had some juice and bananas if not apples and these were our plates before we began the drive to Bethesda where we left the car at this meter and gathered our stuff to leave the lot via this door overlooking the air rights center on the street below and took the infinite escalator into the station and as we waited for the train we recorded out location until we emerged in Georgetown as Suzanne called Audrey so that we could walk past this statue in the park and make our way to the Westin Grand where we saw Joel Cara and Suzanne and Audrey chatted over the chess game before I had to leave my camera so that we could see where George lives (and miss out on literally thousands of pictures).

When I was reunited with my camera, Audrey Alan and the boys in their odd posture led the way to the restaurant where this was my sangria martini as sangria bread and more sangria kept Audrey and Cara Alan Suzanne me and Ben and Joel going as the appetizers came

along with drinks and paella with serving implements that enabled us to dig into the paella as the other portions were served and this group photo (in bad light) was taken by the waitress before we finished our meal as Ben slept on Joel's shoulder and headed back to the hotel where Harry greeted us.
