July 4th 2005 in Washington, DC

I was in Washington DC for CSIDC 2005 and stayed on for other meetings and the July 4th celebrations. These are some of the photos of my time in DC (staying in Georgetown) and the parade itself.
Of course, as a Brit, I did have to keep quiet and hide my English accent on Independence Day.
