June 24th - I took the 7 a.m. Megabus to Washington D.C. and spent the day mostly in the National Mall with my
friend Norwin. I left D.C. at 7 p.m. Trip each way takes about 4 hours. It was a sunny, hot and humid day.
Here are the photos I took.

Before we left 34th Street in Manhattan, it rained. I sat in
seat two (reserved), right behind windshield, top deck.
