「東宮」是第一夫人活動的地方，在聊天室中，牆上掛的照片都是歷來的第一夫人油畫像，當然不是所有第一夫人的畫像都掛滿，這張是尼克森夫人的畫像
華府畢竟是美國的首都，這裡的博物館多得不能在一、兩天內看完，朋友陪我參觀的是博物館雖然名為肖像博物館，卻也收藏許多當代藝術作品，這張枯馬作品，看來像是用枯樹枝作成，實際上卻是用數之作的，造型相當搶眼
還有這個藝術作品也很讓人印象深刻，它介紹的是美國中西部工廠的打工女在忙碌了一天後，到小館子犒賞一下自己，這個藝術品的大小活脫脫就是與真人一般，博物館講解員(穿黑上衣、配有工作證者)說，它的確是用真人當模特兒，打下模子後，再彩繪上去，因此它其實是中空的

哇！哇！哇！好高興看到大嫂參加白宮東廂早餐會的紀錄與照片，令人稱羨的經驗，讓我們也能窺見白宮一隅及藝術之作，尤其那件枯馬，乍看類人體肌脈模型(前不久台灣展示過，一時想不起來該種東西的正確名稱)，不知原創者是否有類似的意念而創作的。
蘭如一定要請邦華上來看看，給我們一些較專業或藝術的見解，他書看得多，聽說文筆也好，就讓我們chang country增加一些藝術氣息嘛！po些他自己的畫作、雕塑、室內設計，或其拍攝的佳作，順便解說。蘭如！交給妳了！

Hi Aunt!
It's good to hear from you. Did you have a good time in the white house?
I had a chance touring the white house about 8 years ago. It's nothing like what you experienced. I was just a tourist back then. But it's fun to see how history and politics play their roles in DC.
How's everyone in SoCal? We just had eight-inch snow the past two days in Chicago.

Hi Linda and Jannet,
You girls are lucky enough. I just passed and tried to peek into the White House, one before the 911 disaster and the other after that. It's even worse on the second one as a lot of blockades protecting the political nerve system. I've experienced the peekings both on my business trips in DC.
It is looking like that American citizens are going to have a woman or black as our president, isn't it?
