So they can wait for you, you won't be gone that long

Our Monday morning plans were to deposit our bags with the front desk to watch for a few hours, check out, go to the Zoo, and return to pick up our bags and then put off as long as possible our going our separate ways. bunny_hugger was flying home. I was to take the train. We wanted to see cute animals first. This took us naturally again to the Woodley Park/Zoo-Adams Morgan station.

( We had specific animals we wanted to see, and, as far as seeing them ... )

We could've spent the whole day in the zoo. Really, we could probably have spent the whole day in the Small Mammal House, and the whole week in the Zoo, but the clock continued on towards the end of the morning and we sadly admitted that it was time to return to the hotel, gather our bags, and be ready to go back home.
