Being in Washington has been marked mostly by late night dinners and catching up with friends. Nearly the whole Fairmount crew was reunited this weekend, and we spent lots of time doing nothing in the apartments of those who live here, pretty much ignoring the world outside. We attempted to go to one museum on Friday, but as a group were more interested in the food trucks...however, the botanical garden greenhouse museum thing managed to be somewhat of a hit (there are lots of benches and you don't have to read much...American History Museum was well done but felt too much like being in class for most of us).
Friday night we went back to a place we all had dinner at over the summer, Oyamel. It is a sensuous spanish tapas place with orange petals lining the ceilings like a carpet of flowers and white candles dripping wax everywhere with infamous pitchers of margaritas. We spent hours and hours there, per usual.
After walking around ALL the monuments, Saturday night we went to Founding Farmers- industrial interiors with exposed beams and pipes lit with candles with fabulous southern food. I had pot roast; it positively melts. I would highly recommend both of these places for anyone visiting D.C.!
Now, just relaxing for a bit with Peter, Angela, and the kids, until I go to Boston on Wednesday. I have lots of work and play to do there. Stay tuned.
