The National Cathedral . . . . . . was next on our list of sights to see. We took the Metro to Tenleytown and walked somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-15 blocks (I'm guessing). Whatever the distance, it was a l-o-n-g walk. But it was worth it. Unfortunately, we got there after the guided tours were done for the day and after the gift shop closed. But, we wandered around inside and out and saw plenty.



This will have to go on our list of things to see next time we go to Washington. It would be interesting to hear the history and lore that are part of the church.
We headed to a Metro bus stop and caught a bus back to Tenleytown where we caught the Metro to Capitol South. There we ate at Bullfeathers, another hangout of the upwardly mobile. The meal was delicious and the place was fascinating - a great place for people watching.
The day's not over yet!

Whew! I get tired just reading about all your sightseeing! I know you didn't gain any weight during this trip...

We went to a zoo in Phoenix, and I had the same thought as you--not nearly as nice as the Louisville zoo!

You guys fit so much into your trip! You must be exhausted!
