Since we were in no rush, we slept until our normal time and had a leisurely breakfast. Interestingly, when we first got up, there was no fog, and as the morning progressed we watched it slowly and steadily roll in on shore.
Saturday, October 4 — Our plan was to leave as soon as it was light enough to safely navigate. The days were getting shorter, and the sun was rising later, so we didn’t untie until 0650.
It was calm and peaceful on the water, though there was patchy fog here and there. There were also a lot of rowing (crew) boats out on the water that we needed to be wary of.
This week has been fun. On Saturday, we went to cryptography museum. It was quite boring and a super long drive to get there. I learned that the old computers were really really big. For lunch we ate at a Thai restaurant.
Cette semaine était amusante. Samedi nous sommes allés au musée de la cryptographie. C’était très ennuyant et un voyage très long pour y aller. J’ai appris que les anciens ordinateurs étaient très grands. Pour le déjeuner nous avons mange à un restaurant Taiwanese.
continued… We followed a walking trail to The Constitution Gardens. The Gardens felt more like a park than a garden, with grass, lots of trees and a shallow lake in the middle.
That said, it was a lovely setting.
continued… We continued west to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. As we approached it, we saw that it was under construction.
But we could still go in. A sign said they were building a basement to house a theater, exhibits and store.
