The view from my spot on the bench in Dupont CircleI took today off from work. I have vacation that is expiring at the end of September so I figured I'd have some fun days off.
It was a relaxing day. In the morning I went to the gym, had a long shower and then went to Bruegger's and had a sesame bagel with hummus. I went back home, did some chores and then got ready to head to the Dupont Circle area. After buying lunch at Tomatillo Taqueria, I headed with it to the circle. All the benches on the outer rim were well shaded by the trees. I found a free spot and settled for lunch. The breeze was gentle, cool and perfect. The setting was so calm with other people enjoying their lunches, either alone or with friends, squirrels running about rummaging for nuts and munching away, bikers stopping for some rest and dogs enjoying their afternoon walk. After lunch, I just sat observing the squirrels below the tree in front of me. It's amazing HOW fast their mouths move when they chew! When the breeze stopped and the squirrels left I got up to walk to the National Geographic Museum. The museum was interesting, as always. After, I walked back to the circle browsing different stores and buying random items. This made me peckish, so I bought a freshly made glazed donut from Krispy Kreme and settled down to enjoy it while reading my book. Satisfied, I headed to union station to meet Saurabh, see his office and then go to watch The Importance of Being Earnest. I finally got home close to 11 PM, and so ended my wonderful day off!
