Travel: Alex Champion's Week 3 pt. 2

This week I returned the possessions of my friend Henry Borchers, who recently began a two year film archives position with the University of Maryland. We intended to visit an Ethiopian restaurant near the National Mall and perhaps visit a monument or two but my misreading of a D.C. guidebook, Henry’s dependence on his phone’s map app, and a partly out of commission Red Line brought us near the AfricanAmerican Civil War Memorial and the similarly named museum.

In the D.C. subway.
It's troubling that Washington represents a large enough demographic
to advertise a drug that reduces HIV-related belly fat.
