We went to the International Spy Museum today in Washington DC. Spent the entire day there and did the extra 1 hour long event. It was amazing to me, to learn so much about our history and the importance of the spy/double-agents and how they gained secrets, gave up secrets, made D-Day successful for the Allies, How we sold scientific research to other countries during the Manhattan Project from Los Alamos Labs to USSR. No wonder the 50's and 60's had so many spy movies and TV programs. I would Highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in the 1940's to present as it presented a different 'history lesson' than the one I remember learning from high school in the late 70's.
Found out that the Metro is less expensive after 10am and again after 7pm, so we will continue to use that model to go downtown DC again today.
The thunderstorm last night cooled down this evening beautifully, and the weather forecast for Wednesday is to be the coolest of the days we have remaining so we plan on touring the MALL tomorrow.
By the way, it looks like the replacement alternator is beginning to sometimes show a charge around 14 volts now, so maybe it is working after all - maybe it just took some time to recharge the drained battery from yesterday's failed alternator while we were driving for some time with the lights on and the A/C on before I noticed the dashboard showing the drop in voltage charge on the battery.
