Sandra admiring the plants still in bloom in the herb garden. We found irises as well as roses and azaleas in bloom. They all are the reblooming varieties. There is a separate herb garden gift shop at Washington Cathedral in addition to the very huge religious gift and book store on the lower level of the cathedral.




More boxwood and more herbs.

After a full and long day of sightseeing in D.C. we drove over to Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown to have a great German dinner at the Old Europa Restaurant. It took Sandra, Gene, Jack and I back to nights in Germany spent at The Dornbush Restaurant.
