Day 37: 16.08.09
Today promised to be the hottest of our summer so far. It was already scorching hot by 8.00am. I actually woke a little earlier to explore the hiking trail surrounding this RV Park and was delighted to see two baby deer in front of me on the track.
After breakfast and bathed in lathers of sweat, we set off into Washington DC to have a look at the National Zoo. This zoo is run by the Smithsonian Institution and so was free. Carefully we navigated our way down town, catching glimpses of some famous American landmarks as we went. The day at the zoo was enjoyable despite the heat. A highlight was the giant panda exhibit. Lunch was ordinary but made bearable with some huge gelato type ice creams.
Back at Cherry Hill we immediately headed for the pool. Several hours later we had dinner before preparing ourselves for a hot and sticky evening in the van. It’s odd to think that just a couple of weeks ago we were complaining about the rain and cold – now that we are experiencing a taste of the Northern summer, we almost wish it was cold again!
