Beautiful day in downtown Washington!! Today we went on the Metro to the Arlington Cemetery. We saw the graves of the Kennedy family and went through the beautiful Arlington House which belonged to Robert E Lee - all wonderfully maintained and of course as an immense military cemetery, very sobering. It was much warmer today so stayed out of the mad heat in the early afternoon and then went off on another expedition to the Air and Space Smithsonian Museum mid afternoon. It was amazing to see so much genuine Apollo 11 paraphernalia + heaps of other fascinating space info and equipment. The re-entry capsules are minuscule!! Anyway, that was fun and rounded off another great day in Washington!! The photo is of Bwian at the museum. After returning to the hotel, the old farts decided a drink and room service was as much excitement as we could cope with tonight!!! We enjoyed a quiet night and then went for a walk to Capitol Hill to enjoy this beautiful building under lights! (it's only a few blocks from our hotel!)
We are now at the airport and winging it to Chicago.
Almost on the countdown home - 2 weeks and 3 days!!! Xxxx
