    I’m jealous. Im still trying to get a ticket.

    Dwell time (length of time a visitor stays) in National Museum of African American History & Culture averages 6 hrs+ compared to 75 mins to 2 hrs for most museums. After visiting I can see why. Thanks for working the magic. UNFORGETTABLE. Bucket List worthy.

    Mshonga mountain gorilla family, Ugandan : I watched Mum and son hug, and then sit quietly in a suny spot. Each seems to simply enjoy being in the other’s presence. I often miss this in my life! Priceless.

    Watching these awesome creatures eat, play, clean themselves, stroke each other fondly, nap in the sunlight...gives me a special sense of who I am- a tiny tiny part of a great universe. I am refreshed, enriched & at peace.
