Five of us went in DC for the EU Open House, visited 4 embassies and the National Zoo, after walking 8 miles.
We started from embassies of SLOVAKIA/ AUSTRIA, walked 1.5 miles to embassies of CZECH/ HUNGARY. By the time we reached embassies of POLAND/LITHUANIA, the lines were 30-45 minutes long, so we skipped the lines and went to the Zoo.
Last time I visit the Zoo was 2014 for colorful Christmas lights in the zoo. So Amazonia's indoor rainforest, the new giant pandas Bao Li and Qing Bao, the Asian Elephant Trail, and California sea lions, gray seals, beavers, and river otters along the American Trail are new to me. The weather was overcast (not as many people as it could be), yet cool for walking and seeing animals outdoors (otherwise they hide inside).
Plus weekday runs 7 miles and after Zoo run 5 miles, I logged in 20 miles run/walk miles this week.
