We borrowed our friends' MiniCooper (what a fun car!) and went to AAUW Headquarters (which is actually more of an AAUW museum). I saw several folks and Carl had a chance to tour the place.
Then we went on a tour of the CIA, which is something not everyone gets to do. Our tour was arranged by one of Carl's OCS classmates who works at the CIA. Our tour guide, Curator and Director of the CIA Museum), is the daughter of one of his classmates and the wife of a CIA operative! An EXCELLENT tour guide: knowledgeable, well spoken, and a great sense of humor.
Upon registration for the tour, we had to furnish our Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers. When we arrived, we had to all get off the bus (leaving cameras, cells phones and any other electronic devices behind) and go inside a small building where a CIA police officer called our names one by one, checked our ID, and issued our visitor's pass. While we were doing that, dogs were checking out our bus!
VERY interesting and informative -- and such a special treat!
Stay tuned for tomorrow's report.
