2023 DC Trip, Day 10, Thursday, April 13th – D.C. Local
Up at 0600, and off to Bob & Edith's Diner for a good breakfast. Met the other reuners in the lobby for a shuttle ride to the subway station. I went with four who also had passes and rode to the edge of the Mall. We wandered down past the original Smithsonian castle which is closed.
On to the Air & Space Museum. We didn't have passes, and the line was about an hour long in hot sunlight, so we proceeded to the Hirschorn Museum. This museum has very modern art, some of it actually comprehensible.
Then we split up. They headed for the sculpture garden, while I went to the Native American History Museum.
This emphasized the difference between world views of natives and those of settlers, and how this difference affected various treaties. I spent a lot of time here, used up some tissue, and then had flat bread covered with chile (aka Indian taco).
Temperature reached the upper 80s today, and the long mile walk almost the length of the Mall wore me out. Caught the train back to the station .7 mile from the hotel, showered, then went to dinner with the group at a very nice Italian place ,4 miles away.
Friday's
museums include American History and the National Gallery of Art (below)
No miles driven. Total walking for the day about 4.5 miles.
