Ärende: Friday of picnic weekend
================================
Hi Dale,

 DS>    Michael has suggested two possible outings -- both of a non food
 DS>    nature, but could be quite interesting to some.  These would have
 DS> to    be done on Friday 27 July.

 DS>    Below I have included some info, posted to Michael a few days ago.
 DS>    Since then I have called both places to inquire about tours and
 DS>    hours.  The NSA Cryptologic museum does give tours, booked in
 DS> advance    on a first come first served basis.  All available tours

Steve says this would be "cool!". (G)  Since he's worked in that field
for the last 24 years, I imagine it would be interesting both for him
and for his point of view on stuff there.

 DS>    The Historical Electronics Museum also gives a variety of tours.

I suspect he'd be more interested than me for this one.


 DS>    In terms of booking -- I'll have to work in some other things that
 DS> we    might want to do.  High on my list would be to visit one of the
 DS> two
 DS>    Korean Supermarkets.  I'd prefer the one further from us for a
 DS> couple    of reasons.   Both of them have a lunch counter where one
 DS> could get a    variety of dishes -- almost all for under $10.   The
 DS> further one also    has a Korean/Japanese restaurant just up the way
 DS> with similar Korean    dishes (so far as I can tell) plus an

Definately a stop for us!  We'd want to get lunch there--Korean food of
course, and do some other shopping.


 DS>    Remember that we have planned on going to Blob's Park for dinner
 DS>    (German food, beers, and music).   It will be a late dinner (say
 DS> 7:30    pm) with the music going as long as we might like.

As long as it's not too late; remember, there's a big day the next day
for all of us.(G)

My only reservation about museum tours is the length of time I'd have to
be on my feet.  If it's a guided tour, are there places to sit down
while the group is stopped so the guide can do his/her spiel?  I"m not
wheelchair bound but just can't stand relatively still or be on my feet
for an extended period of time. That's where I'd vote for one museum
(preferrably in the morning) and a Korean market with lunch, then do
something more off my feet in the afternoon. Others could probably do
the whole day of museum, market, museum, then dinner but it would be a
bit much for me.
