    We recently travelled down to Georgia. Along the way and on the return we made some stops.  On the way home we stopped into Williamsburg.  A nice, well-named, little town.

    The next stop on our return was Washington–a city of monuments, memorials and museums.  Our hotel was located just a few blocks from the Lincoln Memorial, although it was the last one we visited.  The Washington Monument was the first: This Monument is protected by a ring of flags.

    Anyone who lives in the Southern Ontario region knows that when friends or relatives arrive from afar one item on their checklist is a visit to Niagara Falls.  Indeed this was the case when my nephew from Berchtesgaden visited.  So part of our recent tour was a stop at the world famous falls.  Really, just…
