Saint Joan

Of all the equestrian statues in the District of Columbia, this is the only one that features a female rider.

I liked this statue a lot even before Wikipedia told this fact to my friend Julia and Julia told it to me.

She had a lot going for her, Joan.

Tomorrow I will know more than I know today. And in a year's time I will be better than I was a year ago. And when I forget (as I am sure to do) that things are not, will never be, as tough as they they could be, I will look at Joan. And she will remind me.
