cabin fever

We still have snow on the ground from Dec.21 snow storm It's just been unusually cold this year for Virginia. I think my blood has thinned, not sure. Anyway,We made plans to go to the Library of Congress the Eastern Market and also see the Terra cotta warriors @ the National Geographic museum. The warrior exhibit was sold out, so we went to plan "B" wing it.
Adrienne and Pat came with us. We made a stew and put it over in the crock pot left around 10 by the time we got off the metro we we're all ready for lunch. Adrienne and Pat have never gone with us to this area on capital hill so we took them to our favorite hole- in -the -wall restaurant Tortilla Cafe at Eastern Market I had a Salvadoran chicken sandwich with yucca and platiano and a nice drink called Horchaca. On to the Library of Congress awesome place a national treasure for sure. Pat has never seen the new Capital visitors center before. It was right across the street. very convenient especially around 2pm when you've walked enough.
Back home around 5:30 or so for a yummy beef stew. I'll need Sunday to recover.
