Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center

On our trip back to DC, on our last day in DC before we were going to spend the weekend with the kids, we were walking around our hotel and we saw this!!! All my years in DC and I never came here. I think I had vaguely heard about this opening, and looked into it then, but seem to have forgotten about it after that. 

It was closed when we saw it, but I stuck my face and phone to the window to see what they have inside and to take some photos :)

I miss stumbling upon things like this in Eugene. Sigh. 

DC Wanderings...

I miss architecture like this sprinkling the city I live in.

On my last morning in DC this trip, while Saurabh was at his conference, I got dressed, looked for a latte and walked around. There weren't many people out at that hour, but it is DC and there were people. In the lull of the morning hours on a Saturday in DC, I strolled, sipping, reading, taking photos, and just simply soaking in the city. I miss DC every day in Eugene. 

Soon after leaving the hotel, there is this sculpture of Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy. The panels on either side of Hahnemann are interesting. 

After I got my coffee from Dolcezza (I don't recommend their coffee, the gelato on the other hand - Winner!) and walked to Logan Circle. I have been to Logan Circle so many times, but never read John Logan's story that is written on the information stand near the Logan House. It especially hit a chord because I had visited the African American Museum this trip too. And all of this, right after the fuckness of the 2016 election results. 

Logan Home

From Logan circle, I just wandered the streets. The streets here are very DC-esque, and lined with trees in fall hues, they were beautiful to look at.

Today was the first time I realised that Church Street in DC has at least 3 churches! It is literally, Church Street. 

This dog was going nuts! He went around in circles at least 20 times. He was circling while I took this photo! :D

I finally walked back to the hotel and noticed this statue of Daniel Webster right behind out hotel!
