At the John F. Kennedy Center for the performing arts we will have an opportunity to see the three beautiful theaters and many of the special international gifts presented to this lavish cultural center. The Washington National Cathedral is an exceptional 14th century Gothic-style cathedral. Built the way churches used to be, it uses no structural steel and employs workmanship of high quality. Exquisite stained glass windows and rare tapestries grace this magnificent cathedral which is one of the largest churches in the world.  Georgetown , which flourished in the late 1700's as a great tobacco port, today retains a distinctive charm and air of individuality setting it apart from other residential sections of the city.  It is home to Supreme Court Justices, Cabinet members, Congressional delegates, diplomats and ordinary citizens.  We are able to arrange a visit to a couple of private homes of great charm and distinction. Refreshments will be served in one of the homes, which are not normally open to the public. Time may be available for browsing in the numerous and varied shops or, weather permitting, walk along the historic and scenic C & O Canal .
