Before boarding the flight with the well-decorated seatmate, we had lunch at Legal Sea Foods. Our table was up against the window, with a view of the runway and, off in the distance, the dome of the capitol. One of the things that makes Washington such an attractive city to visit is the proximity of the airport.
Our waiter arrived, apologized for making us wait, and explained the reason: “I was in a passionate discussion,” he said.
“What about?” I asked him.
“History,” he said, giving me another reason to love Washington.
