My friend, Ariane, who I've known since I was six, came up from DC for a few hours of good food, talking and window shopping in the Hampden section of Baltimore. Apparently she she causes film to melt.
The George Washington Monument a couple of hours before it became a spectacle of fireworks and technicolor surrounded by carolers and people drinking cider and hot chocolate. You can see a sliver of moon already starting to show in the right hand corner and it was barely 5pm!
