285/365 – The Watergate

For October 14, 2017. We are spending a week in Washington, D.C., where we lived until 2011, before moving to Los Angeles. We decided to stay at The Watergate Hotel, on the water front. The hotel is part of the Watergate Complex, famous (or infamous) for the political scandals that led to Richard Nixon’s impeachment and resignation. Nixon resigned before the Senate could confirm his impeachment, already approved by the House of Representatives.
