I went into DC today to see the Solar Decathlon, which had been moved off the capital mall to a park area down by the Potomac. It was far enough from the nearest metro that bus rides were provided to take visitors to the solar village.

Going back I decided that I could walk across the Potomac and past the Pentagon to where I’d parked just as easily as making the bus to metro shuffle work…so I did. This view caught my eye crossing over a bridge.

It turned out to be about 3 miles back to my car, though 3 miles seems to be getting longer as time goes by.
