4 nights staying in huge, busy campsite by a motorway. Have been serenaded previously by crickets at night - but now it's traffic. The roads are scary - 7 lanes each way in parts & very busy. Very fraught!!
Have now attended our 2nd reconstructionist shul service. Celebrated Simchat Torah at Adat Shalom in Bethesda - thank you to Scott for the recommendation - you were remembered there. Service from 9.30 - 12.30 followed by lunch. Another bright, airy modern shul with welcoming congregation (of 500 families). Great Rabbi & amazing female Cantor whose singing was heavenly. It was a lovely experience. Spent rest of day at Harper's Ferry, at junction of Potomac & Shenandoah Rivers. Intersting restored 19th C town, now a National Park. We now know a lot about the Civil War too!
Have spent 2 days sightseeing in Washington DC & truly understand meaning of monumental scale. We saw White House, Capitol, Washington Monument & Lincoln Memorial. We visited Smithsonian Castle, Air & Space Museum, Museum of Native American History, Spy Museum (really engrossing - 5 star!) & Arlington Cemetery. We walked up Pennsylvania Ave. & The Mall. We ate in Georgetown & Dupont Circle areas (great diner - the Luna Cafe). We made use of Foggy Bottom Metro Station. We did our laundry & cleaned up the RV a bit! Enjoyed our whole experience - well not the cleaning as such, but the results have been pleasant to live with!!

Haven't had a chance to look at your blog since Yom Kippur. Glad you enjoyed Adat Shalom. If I knew you were going to be in the Dupont Circle area, I could have recommended some local watering holes :-) Also, Cafe Luna was a good choice!
