re: It's over!
Tracey Hunt Wow Pete you're so brave! Love the photo of you and your smooth skinned friend. I have heard that snake tastes really good :-)

re: A super, mega, busy day of sightseeing in Washington DC!
Peter Ridge Thanks guys for all your comments. I have to keep remembering to check the comments sections, as I don't get email reminders when a new comment is posted. It's probably the one website that isn't sending me emails every other minute. Yes, the shutdown has provided an interesting political sideshow to this exchange. We are planned to go to the Library of Congress tomorrow (Thursday), and to meet with Congressman Amii Bera, so it will be interesting to see whether the Library opens, and what insights the Congressman can give us...
re: Out and About in the Capital
Stuart Love that a government shutdown causes additional government activity.

Tracey Hunt Hi Pete Wow what an intersting time you have had already! And yes I am still sniggering about Foggy Bottom, perhaps its because I live in a house load of boys where anything to do with the 'nether regions' is ALWAYS so funny! Can't wait to read your next update. Take care, happy travels and experiences. Enjoy! Tracey :-)

Julie Macdonald Hi Peter, great you're finally out in the world! Your comments about the Washington Memorial made me remember a trip to Berlin where the Brandenburg Gate was being repaired, but helpfully (and quite wittily) entirely covered by huge tarpaulins with a picture of ... the Brandenburg Gate! A strange postmodern moment. Travel well, looking forward to your blog posts. J.

Graham Blackburn Dear Peter Ridge We have read some of your holiday blog and none of the Bridle family in England can understand that you came all this way with Mary’s Ashes and you didn’t tell her brother or 3 sisters. They are all very upset. It would have been nice for them to be at the scattering since they were unable to get to the funeral. Graham Blackburn (Husband of Jill Bridle)

re: Aston!
Peter Ridge It was awesome to be inside the house. I wasn't expecting that at all, just thought we'd get to take photos from the outside. We didnt see the whole house, but we did get a couple of photos to show you...
re: Worth Matravers, Langton Matravers, and Wareham (not a Matravers)
Peter Ridge Glad you're enjoying the blog, Tracey. We've got a ton of photos (almost literally), which will pose some challenges when we get back and have to sort through them all! We will definitely have to arrange a slideshow of some sort...
