National Museum of the
American Indian |
Today we visited two different museums. The first one was the
National Museum of the American
 |
| Main Entrance |
Indian. The building was designed by an American Indian and is reason enough to visit the museum. The museum is free and part of the Smithsonian.
The second museum is called the
International Spy Museum which is walking distance from the mall. This museum is not free but is worth the admission. The
Spy Museum is interactive and informs as well as entertains the visitor.

The museum is chock full of factual information regarding international spying. When exiting the museum hours later, the visitor is again asked a series of questions as if they were going to leave the country. Based on my answers I failed to pass the test and would have had my passport taken from me! I don’t think

Spy Museum was fun and well worth our time spent there.

When Barb, I and the
Flints returned to the marina we connected with Ricki and Carl for a farewell dinner at a restaurant close to the marina. Tomorrow after spending 9 months traveling together we will go different directions. Ricki and Carl will travel south with the
Flint’s then place their boat into storage until spring. I’m sure we will travel together sometime next year
