First full day spent in DC. At least today was slightly less humid/hot than yesterday.
Met A*, a person from an online forum I frequent, who also is vacationing here in DC for the week. Met her for lunch at an Italian restaurant in Dupont Circle called Sette Osteria, where I had a nice tasting pizza. Following this, A* went with me to the National Archives, where we got to see (after a *very* long wait) original copies of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. The subway ride there was packed (I barely squeezed in...).
Afterwards, we walked through DC's gay pride festival, which was going on this weekend. A lot of political-oriented groups were there campaigning for LGBT rights in DC, Virginia and Maryland, which I suppose is appropriate for DC.
After coming back (on a packed-to-the-brim subway), I freshened up and went out to dinner down the street at a local bar-and-grill, Capital City Brewery. I then came back, and so far, I'm spending the rest of the evening on my laptop, given I'm not sure how else to spend my evenings. The days are easy---lots of museums---but I'm not sure what there is to do in DC in the evenings, aside from maybe going to a bar or finding a movie theater.
