I've been twice to the Holocaust museum, never got entirely through the whole thing and definitely couldn't fathom another museum after (a drink is more like it). AMerican UNiverstiy used to (and may still) rent rooms to non-students during summer so try them too. Otherwise, motels in Arlington may be cheaper than hotels in the District, (or any other towns along the metro lines in VA or MD) On Thu, 25 Jul 2002 15:01:22 -0700 Gerald Dawavendewa <[log in to unmask]> wrote: you most likely have to set a time limit as to how long you can stay visiting certain museums I spent two days in the Holocaust Museum. As a exhibit designer, I thought it was one of the most well designed museum on the mall and spent countless hours studying it. One tidbit that I do not know is possible, here at the University of Arizona in Tucson, they sometimes will let visitors stay in the dorms if there are empty rooms with a minimal price. of course they are most available during the summer months, but it wouldn't hurt to inquire. I know that George Washington University is near the Smithsonian. ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
