Dog Fair
Went with Calista to the giant dog fair at the National Geogrpahic Building, then to some of the Smithsonian museums. Callie got a kick out of the Jack Russells drag race down M Street and the multi-screen, mammoth-size video of a reclining elephant at the Hirshhorn. Plus we saw oracle bones in the very bottom subterranean floor of the Smithsonian and scary masks from Mali in the Museum of African Art.
We metro'd there and back amidst crazed noontime-drunk white kids going to the WHFSestival (mostly fake alt-bands playing too loud) and Saturday-happy black kids rapping out fightin' words to each other. I felt safer among the Af-Am kids, because at least they were sober.
