Spanish Steps and other discoveries.

I feel like we have spent a decent amount of time walking the streets of D.C. And yet, we keep discovering new areas and I'm starting to think we've barely covered any ground. For our date Thursday night we went to Dupont Circle and enjoyed some al fresco dining at the Kramerbooks cafe. We decided to walk around the area a bit and were happy to stumble upon Larry's Ice Cream. None of that frozen yogurt stuff...just real, fatty, creamy ice cream. We spent over an hour walking from Dupont Circle to the Kalorama neighborhood. Did you know D.C. has Spanish Steps? Not quite like the Rome variety (not enough men hitting on ladies for one thing) but a nice quiet spot. I love wandering around and finding obscure embassies, random busts of historic figures, and huge statues of Gandhi. And a neighborhood project to restore old fire call boxes.
