So that was pretty cool. Then we went down to the National Gallery of Art and saw about 15 different representations of Satan and lots of people from the 1500s who had to wear those collar things cause they won't stop licking their stitches.
We also saw this picture of these people who blindfolded a kid and then plahed some sort of game...which I can only assume would be illegal now. It appears to be "watch the kid who can't see trip over the big giant pot thing."
After getting a gatorade and a water each and devouring them as we walked, we went through the main exhibit at the Holocaust museum. That's another greag thing about Owen being active duty Army and me being Andrew's dependent...we got into the museum right away and didn't have to wait for a time slot. Nice.
It was now almost 3 in the afternoon and Owen and I were starving. On Owen's desire to visit some "Washington landmark" that has been featured on No Reservations and Diners, Drive-ins and Dives we went to U-Street-home of Duke Ellington and Ben's Chili Bowl.
According to the sign, Ben's chili bowl has been Black owned and operated since 1958. If you are Bill Cosby or President Obama and his family, you can eat there free. If not, you get to pay.
I got a chili half smoke, french fries and a.coke. Owen got a chili half smoke, chili cheese fries and a coke. I took one bite of the chili-dog-like sausage and I was kn heaven. Here's the thing...I don't even like chili. This was the perfect mix of spices which combined to create an explosive flavor. Sooooo good!!! The only thing thag could have made it any better is a side of sour kraut, although it also would have totally changed the overall direction of the meal. Delicious and highly recommended. I give it 4 gold stars.
