Today was a busy day. We went to the UConn vs. Georgetown game at the Verizon Center downtown. UConn had a really great first half, but the second half was lousy. They lost 72-69. The people next to and in front of us were UConn fans also, which was nice. I was a little concerned that the girl directly next to me was going to spill her precariously perched alcoholic beverage in my lap, but that didn't happen (thank goodness!).
After the game, we metro-ed to the Smithsonian and grabbed some lunch at the Georgetown Deli in the Old Post Office Pavilion. The sandwiches were definitely a rip-off, but looked appetizing compared to the pizza/gyro/stagnant Indian food/fried chicken featured in the rest of the food court. We rode the elevator up to the top of the bell tower, from which there is a fantastic view of the city. We got a few really nice pictures, including one taken by a third party which contains both of us (a first for this trip!).
We ran into some of our Washington Seminar colleagues at the Old Post Office Pavilion, so we went with them to the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. While looking closely at the Declaration, we discovered...a MAP on the back! Just kidding.
Tonight we went grocery shopping and ate delicious homemade chicken masala for dinner (I say homemade, but that really just means we bought the nifty Trader Joe's simmer sauce mix and put in some chicken and potatoes). Tomorrow: Church, hopefully callings, and a munch and mingle!
Maybe you should have black-lighted the Declaration...and must say, your recollections of the meals you've eaten make me hungry...but as it is so evidently missing, i must ask, what did you eat for breakfast?
