I went to DC again to visit with Beth and Shannon and we did more touristy things including visiting monuments and attending a rib-fest that really wasn't. (short version: most rib vendors were competing only... we could smell them cooking but couldn't eat any. Grrrrrrr)

A Haitian street artist paints a long mural at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the National Mall.

The sunset partially illuminates the bronze equestrian statue of Brigadier General Casimir Pulaski at Pennsylvania Avenue at E & 13th Streets. Pulaski came to America from Poland and, after declaring his intention to become a citizen, fought under General Washington. He lost his life in the siege of Savannah on October 11, 1779.

The Washington Monument is framed by trees along 14th Street.

Hundreds of people still mill about the Pacific half of the new World War II Memorial at 11 p.m. The memorial lies between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial.
