Which garages in Georgetown, part of the Washington, DC, area will allow parking of a large bus, approximately 55 passenger bus, for about two hours? The parking space will be needed on a weekend morning.

my e-mail address is sjeffers@hq.nasa.gov

Good luck, I don't think there are any. Many garages throughout the city find it a challenge to accomodate bigger SUVs. Georgetown, with its narrow streets, presents its own unique challenges in simply driving, let alone parking, a full-size bus close to your destination.

If you don't have any success with a garage, is there a reason why the driver can't sit with the bus on the street in a less-crowded part of the city (you should have no problems in SW on a weekend--a block or two south of NASA HQ under 395 should be empty) and wait it out after dropping off the group?

While walking to Sequoia for brunch several Sundays ago, we did see a couple of buses down by the harbor in Georgetown... but they were parked on the street, not in a garage.

My suggestion would be to call the folks at DC's Convention & Visitors Corp; since they help with the planning of conventions & group tours, I bet they could give you the info you want: (202) 789-7000

None in Georgetown but there are places around the

-The mall

-SW

that allow buses to park during the day. The drivers usually just get out and look around.

Also Union Station has parking for buses on a first come first serve basis. 90 of them.
