NPR, Baseball & Brazilian Beats




Fun Fri. evening last night courtesy of Mark. 

Started with a tour of NPR - awesome for a long time NPR listener. Icing on the cake - watched a few minutes of the All Things Considered broadcast in progress.

Closed with a Nationals v Cards game on a comfortable 80F or so night, complete with NPR logo'd hat and souvenier baseball.


Planned Saturday hike turned into an afternoon at Columbia Heights Day.  Sort of a county fair day for the community. Live music.  Food and drink. Kid games. Petting zoo, where the camel and llama (I think) were popular.  Not the greatest pics.  I know, should've bulldozed thru the kids to get nose-to-nose, or camera-to-nose, with the animals.




And an impressive display of drumming. Crowd sources tell me it's Brazilian style.



Gas - $2.59 (yes) for the cheap stuff at one station.
