I walked home from Chinatown tonight. It was still light out when I got home too. Yes, I'm still on a cane, but I loved every minute of my walk. Well, except for the rat by the Department of Education. No, I'm not referring to the Cabinet Secretary.
Walking the city is how I learn it. Washington DC is one I know fairly well, and it's easy to landmark, so new routes and connections are always happening.
I'm still trying to figure out what city planner I need to hurt for putting The Hard Rock Cafe right next door to Ford's Theater.
In my perambulations I came across a group of people fighting with Roman short swords and shields. I asked "SCA?" and got the answer, "Among other things." I've made my first contact with Atlantia.
The Chestnut trees should be blooming by early next week and the magnolias are loaded with blossoms. When they come into full bloom with the humidity the scent is going to permeate the city. I won't be surprised by sex in the street.
