We visited the National Museum of African American History and Culture today in Washington DC.   The history section takes up three floors. We made it through two of them in four and a half hours.

This young man, who did not give us his name, was the one who greeted us, explained that there was just one restroom on the first floor, but also helped us to be aware that what we were about to experience would be a deeply emotional experience.

It was.

Anniversary, of sorts

A year ago we very much thought we were losing Maya. She was as thin as a rake and not eating enough to keep a bird alive.  Thanks to veterinary science she’s still with us. If all goes well, she will turn fifteen in May.
