Ignite my energy.

One disappointment yesterday, a play we had tickets to see was canceled due to illness. Still, long day of touring, much of it spent at the Museum of African American History. We took in quite a bit and still I know my wife and I could have been there all day.

The current temporary exhibit is on Afrofuturism, and included one of Janelle Monáe's "Archandroid" costumes. inspired in part by the robot from Metropolis. It all comes together, doesn't it?

The day also included books shopping on the Wharf, and a water taxi back to Alexandria. I was chilly all day, but not miserably so. It's been a beautiful trip.
