So we are out of New York and back in Washington DC. We decided we still wanted to check out what parts of the capital we had missed when we were here for the march. It was perfect timing too, we got here when all the cherry blossoms were blooming around Tidal Basin. Also (all of) the Smithsonian and the National Zoo are free! For the taking!
We walked around the zoo for a bit and saw some giant pandas!
Then we parked our bikes at a bicycle valet and met Henry and Julia, two awesome bicycle enthusiasts, who were running the valet. They told us some of the hot spots in DC and informed us about a wicked show at the Black Cat. Then we scrambled around the monuments and museums for a few hours.
We made gourmet bagel sandwiches on the sidewalk in front of some frat dorms at George Washington University. (The doors have card locks but there is such heavy traffic it is easy to get in) So we took easy advantage of looking like students of any school we happen to be by at any given moment.
After our picnic we met up with Henry and Julia at the show and watched Do Say Make Think! The music was awesome and the people we met were wicked awesome. They housed and homed us for the night and fed us fancy vegan mac and cheese. (thank you so much)
Now we are sitting at a local coffee shop thinking about Chicago, maybe straight to the West Coast, who knows until we get there.
Love always and safe travels,
Marshall
