I was going to go to Mexico with a friend but he abruptly disappeared, last minute.

Where do I go?

I am open to anywhere

Actually, I would suggest taking a second look at DC based on what you listed.

You could spend a few days in the National Mall and get so much science, history, politics, etc. Yes, it's hot as heck, but just enjoy it and you can spend most of your time indoors to get away from the heat.

And nearly all of the sight-seeing spots are free or you can give what you can by donation, so you could easily stay within your budget.
