Kennedy Center Tour Dec 2006


December 9, 2006



Here we go again. I have been working so hard I was exhausted. I think I slept so much I was tired from the extra rest. LOL. I definately had to do something about that! I have been in the area for a few months and have slowly been getting out to see all that the city has to offer. Today, was going to a new adventure and I could not wait. I wanted to do something fun, but Free. There is SOOOOO much free stuff to do in the city and I want to do it all. After checking the Washington Post ity Guide I found that there are FREE tours of the John F. Kennedy Cemter for the Performaing Arts. It was absolutely fabulous.



African Wood Carving in one of the Reception Rooms. Absolutely Beautiful!



Mural in a different reception area...









Ivory Statue outside of the Presidents Suite.





The ONLY piece of art that you CAN touch! LOL..... It is actually a piece that was made to be outside. Since the weather would actually help preserve it and it is inside, by allowing visitors to touch it, the natural oils from your hand weather and condition the piece on the inside.











African Wood Carving and Tapestry in the African Reception Room





Another African Tapestry from the same room........
