Daily Lunch Walk, now with Funky Feet!

Yesterday’s lunch walk was just to Safeway for lunch supplies (yogurt and strawberries) because it was cold and rainy, so not blog worthy. Although I will say that no matter how much I really really want to like yogurt, I just don’t. Sigh.

Anyways, the excitement for today’s walk is the addition of a walkmate! May I introduce my office pal, Rosa, hereafter known as Funky Feet. For obvious reasons…

I am sad to announce that is the only picture with today’s walk, because I forgot my camera, AGAIN.

Since it was Funky Feet’s inaugural blog walk, I let her decide the route. And she chose one very much like the one I did last week (except she made me walk on the sunny side of the street to offset the bitter wind...thankfully I didn't get too pink). First cutting over to 6th to avoid the tourists and taking the loooong walk downhill towards the Mall.

Excitement at the corner of 6th and Pennsylvania...a motorcade! Yay! Lots of sirens and tinted windows and men with black suits and earpieces, but no presidential flags. No flags at all actually, which is kinda rare for the motorcades that I have seen.

After the kerfuffle passed, we headed down to Constitution and walked pass the Federal Trade Commission building and turned at the Archives for our return walk, cutting over to 8th at the Navy Memorial to avoid tourists on 7th.

We must look like locals though, because we were asked for directions more than once by little lost groups; I am not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing to look like a DC local though. :-P

A man in a jaunty red hat passed us by near the Portrait Gallery, and I once again lamented my lack of camera.

But we arrived safe and sound back at I Street, feeling virtuously fit and caught up on all the gossip with each other.

Hopefully Funky Feet will join me again and we will get a little more creative with our route. Ha!

Total distance according to Google Earth: 1.61 miles
