We were feeling a little hungry by the time we got ourselves situated. I, of course, have to unpack everything and be "ready" -- for what, I don't know, since we had no plans for this first day.
The afternoon was beautiful so I soon stuffed my Vikings jacket into my purse as we headed west on M street, in search of lunch. I dismissed the first couple of close options and we ended up in a little neighborhood full of ethnic restaurants, one of which would have been a good choice for some lunch companions, but I couldn't see Bob in most of these places.
We settled on Le Pain Quotidien, where I could be sure of the menu -- and it was simple but good. Bob had a ham and gruyère cheese croissant with a leafy salad. I ordered a bowl of chicken soup with excellent bread. After our meal we were ready to continue with our afternoon.
On the way home, we stopped for liquor on P Street (me) and snacks (Bob). We had a drink in our room and another on the rooftop terrace, where Bob lighted the gas fire. The warmth was welcome on this chilly evening, as was the company of a woman from Vermont here for company meetings.

About Me
- Catherine Hennessey
- The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
