Botanical Gardens
We met Anna in DC and visited the Botanical Gardens. There was a coffee exibit we wanted to see and this would be our first trip to the Gardens. I must say it was truly beautiful. I was afraid the kids might find the whole thing boring..but they actually had a great time. All of the orchids were blooming and were just stunning.
The coffe exibit was so well done. It is a black and white photo journal of the coffee farms and growers around the world. Stunning photography...he managed to capture the souls of these people...although done in B&W it was as though you could smell the regions. I was particularly taken with the Guatemala pictures, of course.
After wandering through the gardens we walked over to the Native American Museum to have lunch...what a fun place with great food. The menu is geared toward the regions of North America Indian's and the foods they harvested. Fabulous eating in front of a large cascading fountain.
The subway ride home during rush hours is always as interesting as the rest of the day. Didn't know if I was going to make it to the truck, about 200 yeards away my legs almost gave out. I managed to get there with Musa and Retta chanting, "Just keep walking, Just keep walking." I was very happy to sit down.
I am so glad we did this. It has provided me with a few more images to escape to in my head when I need to get away from the real world.
