Woodland-Normanstone Terrace Park

Woodland-Normanstone Terrace Park

Heading back from the Ob-ode, I walked along Normandstone Drive, instead of Woodland Drive. On this road, is the Woodland-Normanstone Terrace Park. This park doesn't seem to have any trails, but one can still walk through it, pathless. It does have Rock Creek bordering it. :) The Khalil Gibran park is on the other side of it. 

It was a hot, humid, typical DC summer day, and after walking for 1 1/2 hours, I was covered in sweat and drained. Walking up the Normandstone Drive, I saw this water lock type thing, so I climbed down a couple steps down to get closer to take a photo. In my capris, the skin exposed suddenly felt like an air conditioner had turned on!

I stepped down a couple more steps, and the cool air enveloped me as I saw this like aqueduct. This place was such a wonderful refuge from the heat a few paces above.

After having cooled down, I continued ahead a short distance and then stepped back into Woodland-Normanstone Terrace Park, climbed the hill and explored a bit. I need to come back with Saurabh and explore deeper.

I finally made it home, hot, sweaty, thirsty and in need for an icy drink. At Open City, I asked them to make me the lemonade with crushed ice. How three sips of this drink revived me, I cannot describe.
