DC, the museum trip
It’s a great day for driving, dry, white clouds on the blue skies. We took Cross Island, Cross Bronx Expy, GW Bridge, and I-95 down.
There are handicaps street parking meters, and the Park-Mobile is available. Bike lanes are everywhere, compare to NYC.
China is everywhere in DC: at the Kennedy Center and at the Postal Museum, just to name a few.
The little ballerina by Edgar Degas is everywhere too.
Is grass greener at neighbor’s house? I think not: the Central Park an the Mall by the Capitol Hill are iconic and the grass is just greener. The grass was yellow at Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace.
Maine Avenue Market still looks the same. However the surrounding area is undergoing renovation or improvement. Hope they keep the little fish market intact, for memory sake.
