At any rate, this roll features
bishopjoey, our visit to The Smithsonian (for touristy gifts) and Adams Morgan (in search of The Red Sea, the greatest Ethiopian restaurant ever, which has apparently gone out of business), and then saying our goodbyes. There are also some gratuitous kitty cat pictures at the end, because I enjoy the gratuitous kitty cat pictures.The pictures:

* I promised you more of a description of Yoko Ono's Wish Tree and here it is: The tree is part of an installation at The Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Basically, it's a bare tree with a box full of paper slips and pencils, and the public are invited to write their wishes on the slips of paper and tie them onto the tree. After
bishopjoey and I wrote our wishes and hung them from the tree, we checked out some of the other wishes that people had left. They ran the gamut, from serious (wishes for an end to war, wishes for cures for diseases for loved ones), to the silly. "I wish I was a billionaire." "I wish for a hot girlfriend for Mike." My favorite wish: "I wish for big boobies to touch." bishopjoey's favorite wish: "I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner."** The gratuitous kitty cat pictures I mentioned
