A very tiring day today. We caught the overnight bus from Boston to Washington and neither of us slept much. We're staying an another homestay through Airbnb for the next few days, although the house is more like a hostel. The area (Takoma Park) seems nice enough, but the room is a bit dingy and there are no cooking facilities. We're staying in the basement of a large 19th century mansion (we were supposed to be staying in a different room upstairs, but the downgrade gave us both a cheaper rate and an early check-in).
We managed to drag ourselves into town for a few hours and visited the Museum of the American Indian and the American History Museum, both of which were very good. Tomorrow we're hoping to go on a free walking tour of the main sights, although today was very hot, humid and stormy, so not ideal conditions for wandering around outside. One piece of good karma came our way as we were given some spare unlimited metro travelcards by an Australian lady, so at least transport will be free for the next few days (we did the same with our Boston and New York travelcards).
