Sometimes life puts you in the way of Steven Seagal, and what’s a girl to do but to take a picture with the man.

How do you relish one last evening?
Sometimes I just sit by the window.
It’s time to say goodbye to an uneventful stay in Old Town, Alexandria. Initially, I was going to stay for a week, but my boss asked me to stay an extra week. He bribed me with continuing stay in a very nice hotel where everyone knows my name. Well, the front-desk guy, Abdullah, knows my name.
More photos and stories to come.
Something you don’t see very often
These days it’s rare to see nice, big infographics on any page of a paper, let alone on A1. So you can imagine my delight when I saw the Wall Street Journal this morning.
A1 and above the fold. There have been some nice infographics explaining the nuclear reactors in Japan. What are some of your favorites? Cuales han sido sus graficas favoritas de la situacion en Japon?
Alexandria or D.C.?
The thought occurred to me, that I should be more aware of certain technicalities so as not to offend. It must be a great time expense for travel writers, because it does require some extra research and thought. On that note, I wanted to see if it begs clarification, that I’m technically living and working in Alexandria, Virginia and not Washington, D.C. proper. Everyone in Phoenix refers to this office as “the D.C. office”, but I wonder if there’s a massive difference to locals here? Would Alexandria locals be upset to be lumped together with D.C.?
At any rate, here are a handful of photos from a short walk around Old Town at dusk.

Greeting from the nation’s capital.
For the next week, I’ll be working out of my company’s D.C. office. Unlike in Phoenix, I get a whole office for myself. And here’s the view:
That’s Alexandria City Hall. Off to a full week of work, and hopefully some fun too!
