I never just get out and walk. Part of that is because of Ktown, and the other is because…well, I just don’t. This morning I did. I decided to walk a few blocks Southwest of my hotel, and I ran across the White House. Wow. I walked around the entire compound, and when I was directly between the South Lawn and the Washington Monument, I felt it. There is something special about that place. I was the only person standing there. There was a security guard behind me. He did not say anything, although I felt like I should not have been there.
I have already realized that I did not give myself enough time in this city, which means that I am going to have to come back. Looking forward to my adventurous day today, and also looking forward to my walk tomorrow.
