Homeward Bound
The trip to Washington is almost over. I'm writing this at Dulles Airport. From the window of Terminal B(where I am sitting) the Space Shuttle (which flew over the city a few hours ago is sitting. I've posted a photograph on my Facebook page (this is an iPad1 - so I can't take and save photos).
It's been an interesting fortnight. Yesterday I spent the afternoon in the gallery of the House of Representatives - and chatted to some interesting people. Unlike the Commons and Lords - business is not continuous. I'll be writing up some of my experiences in the days to come. Now I have an opportunity to catch up with some reading as I fly home.
