July 13th

Late this afternoon Georgie and I headed to the Mall to the National Gallery of Art, which is right across from the Native American Museum. I didn't know about it, but there was a celebration of the Longest Walk going on the Mall between the 2 museums. We caught the end of Keith Secola's concert, which was great. I heard the song "NDN Kars" and there was a pow-wow.

Keith Secola and Wild Band of Indians -- You can't see him very well, but I liked that both the tipi and U.S. Capitol were in the picture.


Pow-wow, complete with requistie hippies:


It was hot out, so Georgie and I then moved on to the National Gallery. We went to the Modern Art wing. Someone was nice enough to take our picture in front of two paintings.

Me, Georgie, & Derain's "View of the Thames, 1906"

Me, Georgie, & Picasso's "Le Gourmet."


I wanted to get our picture in front of "The Tragedy," but I thought a picture of a little girl was more appropriate.
