Bill Schrier attended the Open Cities conference in Washington DC in early October.   It was a glorious fall time in Washington.   I flew in late on a Monday night, flying over a number of United States cities, including Chicago – there is an image below of Chicago from the air at night – Lake Michigan is to the upper right.  I arrived in DC and stayed in the Dupont Circle area, which is also “embassy row”.    Went out running one day and ran by embassy after embassy including embassies of countries I never heard of and which had no vowels in their names, for example the Kyrgyz Embassy, pictured.   Flew out of DC on another beautiful afternoon, taking a couple of the photos below.   Lara Schrier spent six weeks in the summer of 2008 at Georgetown University at a medical student prep summer school.   Click any photo to see a larger version.
