A US public holiday at last! It is Memorial Day weekend so we've been enjoying the fantastic weather. OK, so Yesterday we watched the three international rugby games on the TV, but Helen did go outside for a run.

Today, we went for a ride around DC, about fifty miles in total. It was very pleasant while we were moving, but the sweat poured off when we stopped. We stopped at the National Zoo for lunch, no not panda burgers, and to top up our water; I don't know about Helen but I'm looking forward to the big reward pizza tonight.
