I started off on Saturday with 5 requests for each location: the National Zoological Park and ESPN Zone. When I got to the zoo, it was dark and rainy and I couldn’t find 3 of the 7 machines. The National Zoo has a gradual slope that makes waking back and forth really tiring, so I decided to come back again in search of the missing machines.
When I came back on Sunday, I still couldn’t find them. I asked just about every zoo personnel but none of them knew anything, one woman at the information booth even walked me to the location before she admitted herself that they were gone. This is really distressing… one of the many reasons not to offer to press coins for others.
Anyway, I had more luck at the ESPN Zone. Since I bought a one day pass, I stopped at Federal Triangle to press the coins at the Post Office Pavilion and the National Aquarium. When I got to the American History Museum, I saw that the road leading to the museum was torn up. A construction worker by the road told me that the museum’s been closed for nearly 2 years now. Wow… I never knew.
