Washington's Union Station

We booked into Montgomery Council Park in Clarksburg, Maryland for nine days. Clarksburg is just north of Rockville where Bill's cousins Bill and Marilyn live. We took the half hour Metro train from Shady Grove into Washington DC and came out at Union Station. It is the largest train station in North America with the local Metro and interstate trains comming and going from here. The statue is of Christopher Columbus and in the summer would have had a lovely pool and fountain around it but is now drained for the winter. It is still clear and sunny, but the wind is bitterly cold and we are very pleased to have our leather jackets.
