Welcome - now please leave.

The tourists have returned to Washington. They talk too loudly on the metro; they stand on the wrong side of the escalators; they insist that the Capitol building is the White House.

And for some of us they are our life blood.

They fill in our surveys and answer our questions; they explain why they came; and what they hope to experience. They make up a majority of our annual audiences but are a special audience all their own.

So I say welcome back. Enjoy your stay.

Please forgive us for rejoicing at season’s end.
