メトロに乗る Ken。スミソニオン博物館やコンサートや花火大会を見に、ワシントンDCのモールへ出かけた。 Ken on the Metro as we head out to the Washington DC Mall where we went to visit the Smithsonian, as well as to see the concert and fireworks scheduled for the 4th. |
We went to the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence, but ther line was too long. So we settled for the Sculpture Garden across the street. |
その後、スミソニアン博物館へ行った。トリケラトップスの前に、へへ、と笑う Ken。食われるとでも思ってるのだろうか。 We went to the Smithsonian Natural Science Museum. This is Ken in front of the bones of aTriceratop. |
コンサートの前のくつろぎ。かなり歩いたあと、国会議事堂の前の坂に適当な場所を見つけて、やっとゆっくりくつろげた。 |
Relaxing before the concert: After an afternoon of extensive walking--part of it in the rain--wefound a nice spot on the slopes in front of the Capitol to see the concert. It was a bit far, but we could hear it well enough. There, we ate the onigiri that Chie made andrelaxed as we waited. We were even entertained by the fireflies dancing in the bushes. |
しかし、雨が降りはじめた。どしゃぶりだった!はんぱじゃなかったよ。コンサートの最初のほうに出たポインター・シスターズの曲を聞けたが、その他は、あきらめて帰ることにした。 The rain started coming down in buckets! We stayed for the start of the concert and heard thePointer Sisters sing, but gave up and went home. |
No fireworks for us this year. It was pouring! As you can see, we were drenched. Leo's shirtsleeves were soaked, as well as my pants. The back of Chie's dress was wetter than the front. |
