Yeah - Went to Washington Harbor & went to National Harbor.

Chances are I don't know what the unusual buildings were - there weren't any labels on a lot of the buildings.

I was really tempted to stop at Washington harbor & get some steamed shrimp 'cause I could smell them cooking it. But since I didn't have my usual boat, I didn't have rope in it with me - so I wouldn't have been able to tie up the kayak. So I ate my apple instead.

Ya, National Harbor is the one I was thinking of. That's where the bridge with the arched trusses are.

The Woodrow Wilson or whatever they're calling the replacement bridge.

It's still the Wilson Bridge. Just a new and improved one.

Traffic in NW is worse than other parts of the city, particularly if you get off the main drags. Don't get me wrong, MacArthur is a nice ride on the weekends, but it's hardly all of DC.

But I get it that some folks just don't like to explore cities. I do; I guess that's why I did the whole architecture-urban design-city planning thing for my schoolin' and my workin' (and my playin').

Yeah...coming from about as far SW as NW gets...I really can't go anywhere deeper into the city without going through worse traffic before things start to get better. I keep thinking that it would be nice to go out near RFK sometimes, but yeah.. I never make it.
