National Gallery of Art
This is the Entranceway from the Mall to the West Gallery. Saturday June 11 DC day Day 8
Today went to the National Gallery of Art on the Mall. It is massive and has 2 large buildings connected by an underground moving sidewalk. The West Wing houses European and American Art from the 13th to the 19th centuries. The east Wing Houses 20th century art. I invested almost the entire day there and it was exhausting.
After visiting the Museum I walked over to a pizza place noted in my guidebook to be one of the best in DC. It was called Ella's Wood Fired Pizza on 9th Street NW. Instead of ordering a pizza of the kind I was used to I made the mistake of taking a servers recommendation and ordered one of their "gourmet" pizza's. It was dismal with some kind of leafy vegetable on top of it. I actually have the suspicion that they were playing a joke on the "out of towner" but just ate what I could and left. I'll know better next time. From now on Chicago Deep Dish or shut up !
It had been another exhausting day. I headed home and stopped at a store to get some Ice cream to cover the rotten taste of that pizza out of my stomach.

Pizza is a very personal thing
You always have to go with what you like. Sounds like you are having a great time.
