Woke up at 6, started to charge the batteries and had a great homemade eggs and bacon breakfast.
Walked to the metro and went to the Zoo. Great free parc, where we saw Pandas! We were very lucky to see them, as they only showed themselves for a couple of minutes. We saw most of the other facilities and animals. We also had a concert of screaming monkeys, which was really great. It was very warm and sweaty weather.
We walked back to the metro and headed to the National air and Space Museum. A really nice (again free) museum near the Mall in Washington. From the first Wright Brothers flying, to warplanes, crossing soundspeed and landing on the moon. We also went to a Nice iMax movie "to fly" and had a noisy Mcdonald menu.
Driving through busy traffic south, through the old town and to a motel near the shopping mall, we want to visit the next day. Went to bed early as the feet were killing again.
