Exploring

 Saturday we decided to drive to the nearest Metro, get a Smartcard and just go.  No destination in mind, just go wandering.  We got off at Eastern Market and headed down Barrack's Row.  Stopped for breakfast at Banana Cafe & Piano Bar where we shared Caribbean Eggs Benedict and a special french toast.  Yummy!

Completely fortified we continued on and crashed a wedding in this gorgeous church.  Actually we sat quietly in the back but it was still awkward.  Then we walked down this very American street.....

 It's still a little shocking to be walking around, turn your head and you see this.......

His birthplace

                         I'm not sure I'll get used to the absolute gorgeousness of this place!

 There was a women's rally going on at the front lawn of the Capitol.  Music, dancing and some moron speaking about women's rights.  A young guy, clearly out of his league was blabbering on about ludicrous things....everyone we passed (who was not engaged in the rally) looked at each other like..."who is this idiot?"  Nice to live in a country where you can publicly say what you want.  Even if it IS moronic.

 Turns out we spent several hours out and about but with so much to look at, you don't notice it until your feet start to speak to you.  Yeah, it was time to head home!
