Arlington

Stephen has no voice this morning, due to all the shouting he did yesterday watching the soccer. He is getting no sympathy from me. Its a self inflicted injury!



After a coffee and quick apartment viewing for Paul, we headed over to Arlington Cemetery. We visited the two must-see's: the eternal flame at the JF Kennedy grave and the Tomb of the Unknowns. We also went to the Robert E Lee house which is situated overlooking the JFK grave. To get there we had to climb the slope...death by a thousand steps! We always go places woefully under prepared...we failed to pick up bottles of water, and it was hot today... It was touch and go whether we would make it back to the car, or whether they'd have to call an ambulance for us!!
