My Iran Exhibit

Last week we decided it was time to finally take the metro in to town. We moved to northern Virginia in April from Capitol Hill. I promised my husband we would take metro every once in awhile. I never liked it and rarely used it when we lived in DC. He loves it. So we drove the car to the McLean station parking lot and boarded on to the silver line. The main reason for the trip was to see the “My Iran” photography exhibit at the Sackler Gallery. So we started at the Capitol South metro stop in our old neighborhood and walked through our favorite places - the US Botanical garden and along the mall past the Air and SpaceMuseum, the Hirshhorn gardens, the Smithsonian Castle gardens and on to the gallery. Needless to say neither one of us was impressed with what we saw. In fact, one of our friends said my photos from Iran were probably so much better! I think she was right. Anyway, it was a good experience to take the train, walk around familiar places, and get back home in short order. Next time we will probably take the bus to the train station rather than drive. The bus stop us right in front of the house. The only catch is that the weather needs to be right and we don’t have a specific time or appointment to get somewhere - and it always needs to be before or after rush hour.
