On the Sunday I managed to have time to take a walk around National Harbor. It's fairly new and right on the Potomac. I had a walk along the harbor front. It was very cold!

They have quite a few statues dotted around. Some were very interesting.

On the first day, this was also in the lobby of the hotel. :-)

On the last day of the conference I found the tea shop. I have never seen teas that are priced $110 for 2oz! I didn't buy any of those! But I did sit and have a cup of tea and chat to the shop owner, an Air Force Vet who had lots of questions on astronomy! It was great fun. Plus I got a huge tube of green mint tea and some packets of Wine mixers. You add the tea to wine and cold brew. I am really curious. It combines two of my favorite things, wine and tea. So it could either be absolutely amazing or awful. I'll let you know!

And it has been freezing! The Potomac froze! Everyone has been dashing in and staying as close to the centre as possible. Luckily National Harbor is quite small so you can get to all the restaurants fairly quickly. (Seriously I have never felt cold quite like it. It was -15F / -26C with the wind chill one day!)
