And breakfast at a diner with a wide cross section of locals from inner urban DC.
Lunch in the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery courtyard after several hours coming up to speed on the American Civil War.

So we settled for Mexican instead after pre-dinner drinks in a
typical American style loud and raucous bar.
A senior high school near Brookland clearly has to take safety into consideration! Only in America!
