8 Sept.
Arrived and after a nap off to see some Porc, Washington style. That is, what them dere folks are doing with our taxes.
Off to the Potomac and a bowl of Maryland crab seafood soup. Need to be in shape when viewing Porc.
It is just a short stroll to the Kennedy Center, a large concrete stucture with many theaters. Tax dollars certainly at work here – just not well spent. Virtually no Kunst on the roof top terrace. Boring expanses of outdoor tiled flooring without a sign. Great views, however. A stroll around the terrace is worth the time.
Georgetown row houses are a break from the Porc, but all roads lead to K Street, pictured. Hard to imagine the impact of this street from the view in Georgetown.
M Street has shops and restaurants. Figured a food pic was required; comparable to the Slanted Door. The Papyaya salad was different than I have seen before so I asked of the chef, where is he from thinking he might be from the far North of Vietnam. Mexico was the response; I gave up.
Back to the hotel for soak, 103F, in the hot tub. Perfect for a "boy" from Brooklyn.
Ride starts in the morning.
