Washington DC. May 26, 2011

32C here and it is hot and muggy but I am so happy to have sunshine. Last night we checked into the Washington Hilton and then took a cab to the Shops at Georgetown. We expected a mall but it was several streets of well known stores, many restaurants and the Georgetown Cupcake store better known from TV as DC cupcakes. We each bought 3 different ones but they aren't any better than any we can get at home. They have a huge selection of flavours though.

We ate at a great little pizza place, did a bit if shopping and then walked all the way back to the hotel. It was still very hot even though it was dark.
We saw the Old Stone House, the oldest freestanding building in DC. Georgetown is the oldest neighborhood in DC as well and most of the residences cannot not be changed on the outside but they are free to paint the exterior and to renovate interiors.
Today for breakfast we went to a place called the Diner that Season had heard about. It was so good we went back for supper and had cheeseburgers
After breakfast Season went to her conference and I took the metro downtown
