It is HOT!!!

This was our hottest day yet and we spent a lot of time walking in the heat. Took a huge loop around all the monuments starting in the morning- Jefferson,Korea, FDR, Lincoln, Vietnam, WWII. Many stops to get water and ice cream but it was just HOT. Ended up at the Air and Space museum and spent a couple of hours checking out the planes and space stuff. I was hoping to see the space shuttle and the bigger planes but they are at a different Smithsonian that is 45 miles away. That will have to wait for another trip.

We struggled back to the hotel and spent an hour floating in the pool cooling off. We had heard that D.C. had the best Ethiopian food so we found a place on Yelp that had great reviews. We took the subway to a neighborhood that tourists don't go to. It was awesome. Great platter for 3 over injera with 2 beers and 2 wines for less than $50.

Tomorrow we are heading home but our plane doesn't leave until after 8 so we have most of the day to see what we haven't seen yet. Need to see some art, the archives and maybe some other minor museums...
