Meridian Hill


Midway in our life's journey, I went astray from the straight road and woke to find myself alone in a dark wood. - The Divine Comedy, Inferno



I rediscovered Meridian Hill today. I think I've been there one or two other times but can't recall why. At first I couldn't quite figure out what Dante was doing there, but found out the park was modelled after Renaissance and Italian gardens. I also found out that the Joan of Arc statue is the only equestrian statue in DC with a woman.
