We just returned from a trip to Washington DC. Hotter than Hades, but had a great time.
The top images are of a Roy Lichtenstein sculpture located in the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden between Constitution Avenue and Madison Drive. As I was covering one eye to see the differences in perspectives of the house, my wife snapped a watch pict of my GMT-C.
The images below are of my GMT-C sitting on top of a Boeing 747 front landing wheel assembly. Needless to say, the front wheel is larger in diameter than I am tall.
The third row of images are of Mercury Friendship 7 capsule that John Glen climbed into on February 20th, 1962 while wearing the first Swiss watch that went into space. The particular story of my involvement on re-discovering the first Swiss watch in space is located here. (http://www.minus4plus6.com/heuer.htm)
The last row is the Smithsonian description of Mercury Friendship 7 and a background image of the Capitol steps.
A great family trip...
