What the ....?
17 degrees today!
Rather than stop for breakfast this morning
and take up more time, we grabbed a ‘coffee to go’ then headed off to the
Washington Memorial to see if I could get tickets for today – done and dusted
for the 2pm journey to the top.
We then headed down to the Newseum. This is a fairly recent museum and, as the
title suggests, it’s focus is journalistic achievements of the past and present
and how the delivery of news has shaped society. Really worth seeing and very well set
out. While there, we viewed a 4-D
presentation of news through the ages.
I have four tickets for the Washington
Memorial so as Regan has just arrived in DC, we have arranged to meet for the
2pm tour. The memorial is 500 feet tall,
555 with the pointy bit on top! With the
two windows on either side of the obelisk you get an unbelievable view of
Washington. We then set off for the Air
and Space Museum and spend the remainder of the afternoon there until closing
time. GC and I went in to watch a couple
of the IMAX shows – I think I woke myself up when I started snoring, then it
was Gordy, then it was the guy across the aisle J
A taxi back to the hotel. Getting a teeny bit chilly and we just can’t
be bothered walking. The city blocks
here are HUGE!
Off to Oyamel Cocina Mexicana tonight for
dinner. This guy owns the Zaytinya and
this is his Mexican version – very tasty, so would recommend.
A nightcap back at the Hay-Adams now it’s
time for bed!
