Today’s Highlights:
This was our first rest day after nine straight days of cycling.  The group stayed on New Hampshire Avenue, not far from the White House.  I spent the night and most of today at Chris and Stacia’s house.  I had a leisurely evening and morning, and a wonderful visit.  We drove into DC around noon, making my first visit to Barracks Row, and enjoyed a nice lunch at a Greek restaurant, Cava Mezze.  We took a walk up to Eastern Market and caught a nice view of the Capitol building along the way.
In the evening, Chris returned me to the hotel.  I had dinner with Rene, Veronica and Eric, then got organized for tomorrows 93 mile ride.
