DC continued
May. 23rd, 2006 05:02 pmIt happened to be my cousin Susan's birthday, so shortly after I arrived to the house in Bethsda we went out to a very atmonpheric diner called "Houston's", it was quite good.
When we got back I spent some time with Jacqui, who has an impressive Manga and Anime collection which I didn't mind viewing with her *grin*, until it was time to watch "Annie Hall" (one of my favourite movies), as it happened Kathy had to write an essay about an aspect in Annie Hall and I said I'd help, so I began taking notes during the movie.
As essay of my own with be here as soon as I get over this effing cough!
Stayed up for a bit of SNL (loved Kevin Spacy) before we were just chatting and planning what we would do tomorrow morning before I got back to DC (we went to a real diner and had a breakfast brunch), I went back to watching Anime with Jacqui before nodding off.
Woke up quite refreshed and by 11:00 we were out for brunch.
I said I'd come back in June, for a longer weekend, since I lost a day due to the runny tummy.
I was lucky that the museum I wanted to go to was close to the Metro Center and to the Chinatown bus stop.
I went to the National Museum of Women in the Arts... typical I know. They had a special exhibit of the role and place of women in ancient Mexico and Peru, which I found facsinating, it's amazing what a much more naturalisitc way of living they had and that each person had a specific role to play in the community.
I really like the goddess figurines, but they really didn't talk emough about the mythology in my opinion.
It also had a permanent exhibition of modern and contempoaray art (all by women of course), they had a huge Frida Khalo in the entrance and lots of beautiful other modern paintings.
I'd like to go back there and see what other stuff they had, plus the Mexican/Peruvian exhibit is closing next week, so I'd like to see one of the new exhibits.
As soon as I saw it was time, I began walking towards Chinatown and got on the bus for the three hour drive home.
Somewhere between the day before and yerterday I got sick.
