Washington, DC - 8/16/11

Our last full day in Washington found us too sore to venture out very far. Ricki spent most of the day trying to straighten out her health insurance issues. Our traveling friends went to the Indian Museum and came back late in the afternoon so we could all go out to eat. This is the last time we will see Skip & Barb until next spring when we catch up with them in NY where they plan to winter their boat.

On our walk back to the boat we witnessed this sunset over the marina.

Hope this will enlarge since it explains the next photo ....

Very unusual looking craft ....

When we returned to the boat, Ricki needed to change the water and sand on her critter. Now she has it eating out of her hand. Don't think I will be able to convince her to return it to the wild before we leave so I guess we will collect enough sand and water to keep it alive for awhile at home.

Tomorrow we will be leaving here and starting back down the Potomac toward Glouster Point where we will be leaving our boat for the winter.
