Where In The World Is Sum1?

Eastern Shore (Talbot County), Maryland

Locale:  Easton Md.

         Easton Maryland is on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, about 20 miles south of the Bay Bridge.  I am here this week delivering a Networking class to the county.  Everything is fine, but this entry is more about where I went on Sunday after landing at Reagan National Airport.

         Sunday was a pretty rainy day, but it didn't stop me from going to a place I've been many times, and taking quite a few pictures.  I visited the National Mall.  For those who don't know, it's not a shopping mall, it's the area that include the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, the Reflecting Pool, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, the WW II memorial, etc.  I particularly wanted to visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, and the Korean Memorial.  I'm not sure why, but that's where I headed.  As is normal this time of year, the National Mall was crowded, despite the rain.  To make it even better for me, there were numerous WW II and Korean Veterans there, flown in courtesy of

This is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. They transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill.

         Visiting this area is always humbling to me.  I wanted to tour Arlington Cemetary again (I always make a point to visit my boyhood hero (Audie Murphy), and Joe Louis, both who are interned there).  Sadly, with an hour drive ahead of me to get to Easton, I ran short on time.  Maybe I can visit there on Friday afternoon.  I did take several photos while at the National Mall, some are below.

         Well, til next time, when I find myself in Colorado Springs (YEAH!), y'all be good, enjoy the weather, and write!
