National Press Club

Today after our class field trips to the National Museum of American History and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum I headed to Dupont Circle to meet the Media Relations Coordinator of International Child Art Foundation. She invited me to dinner at the National Press Club in downtown D.C.

It was interesting learning more about her experience and impressions of life. Growing up in several countries such as Tunisia, Pakistan, Morocco (just to name a few), her father was in the National Foreign Service and is now an executive director of a local organization for retired diplomats. I spoke with him at dinner as well, and he was very charming. He spoke about the influence of arts and culture.

After he left, Patricia and I ordered dessert ( mocha napoleon with blackberry and blueberry compote) and spoke about random interesting aspects of culture, art, and psychology. It was a nice way to end a busy week for ICAF.
