Bike ride with Jaap

While Sasha and Nora spent a mother-and-daughter afternoon together, Jaap and I went for a long bike ride. We rented bike's from BikeShare, and drove to the National Mall. This was the first time I rented bikes from there and it worked really well. We picked up our bikes at Veitch Street, drove 20 minutes to DC and left them at the kiosk at Metro Center. Great system.

At the Mall we visited the Freer Gallery, a museum with Asian and Western art, and then had lunch in the National Museum for the American Indian. The latter is a new museum. It's a beautiful building, with interesting materials, but it had an air of melancholy -- not surprising of course, given the subject.

On the way back we biked past the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials, and crossed the bridge to Arlington. A great afternoon. It's so special that we can simply go for a bike ride together.
