I also went to the Natural History Museum and spent some time cycling around the city as well as out to the Velocity community bike space. Met some great people there and got to put on a new chain, even left with some cycling shoes to try out and a set of SPD pedals should I decide I want to transition to clipless. A great way to spend the afternoon and cleaned tons of muck and North Carolinian sand out of the gears.
When we did leave DC, it was in the direction of Annapolis once again. Sam and I had sort of planned to head up northeast in the direction of Baltimore and Philadelphia, but when we realized that routing was quite complicated and neither of us had a burning desire to spend great amounts of time in those cities, we opted to go back the way I had come and take a ferry to New Jersey. Thanks to Chris, Dani, and Sarah for a great time in DC and helping one of those Northerners to enjoy your capital city!
Awesome orchid exhibit at the Smithsonian. I learned that vanilla is derived from an orchid! |
Highly worth a stop for anyone passing through. The people in here were friendly, happy to help, and doing some great community outreach programs! |
