Touring DC

I toured DC with 12 Chinese business guests and we covered lots, including two memorials I had not been to: the Korean Memorial and the Pentagon Memorial.
I had heard there was water under the benches representing the 184 killed when the plane crashed into the Pentagon, but as you approach the field, it is all light gravel and looks like a desert.
But as you approach each widely set bench, there is a name on the leading edged, this one is Bernard Brown's, and underneath running water. It jets from left to right in this picture. The ripples in the sun create a shimmer on each bench arm.
We covered twice as much on the agenda because we kept adding things. Time for bed!
