Tuesday again!
Morning in Georgetown (Rosslyn, Virginia in the background with all the sky scrapers). Lots of rowing competitions were being held on the Potomac River. The weather was cloudy, threats of rain, but warm.
The Oak Hill Cemetery looks so interesting. It is a Victorian-style cemetery. I said to Peter that we have got to visit it one of these days. It looks SO interesting.
The mission for this hike?
WE really did get our steps in. Always a good thing.
We hiked by numerous embassies on our way to Dupont Circle.
It felt good being out and about,
My knees behaved, very thankful for that!
A cool book store in Dupont Circle, Kramer's, here you can have a drink as well, or a full meal if you would like that. Also if you want to buy a book, that works as well :-)
And then we tried the burger!
Afterwards we walked back to Georgetown.
Also, it is October Fest times, so we started both happy hours-- here at home--this weekend with a pretzel. We dipped the pretzel in melted cheddar cheese and honey mustard dressing.
DELISH!!!!
Sunday afternoon us Bloggbrudar had a little chat via FaceTime.
Always nice and good to see the other Swedish bloggers in this group of ours. The theme this time, opposites.
The weekend just came, and went.
All good here.
I hope all of you have had a good weekend as well.
Peter and I took on a city walk Saturday morning.
We parked our car in Georgetown, and we hiked up to Massachusetts Avenue in North West DC along the Rock Creek Park Trail. Said trail was packed, as one can imagine an urban path would be.

This is the Swedish Embassy in Washington DC. It is located right by the Potomac River in Georgetown. This is where I renew my Swedish passport (however, last time I renewed my passport was in Stockholm back in January). This is where I vote in Swedish elections. And, the Swedish Embassy also houses The House of Sweden. The House of Sweden offers up an array of activities throughout the year, Lucia processions, Christmas markets, theater performances, Swedish speakers and so on.
Georgetown people.


Very leafy streets and lots of Embassy residences are located right here.
TO taste the BEST hamburger in DC. One of “our” YouTubers, DMV Adventures (this guy specializes on DC, Maryland and Virginia locations), had a video recently where he tried out the best burger places in DC.
And the best one, according to DMV, is found at Duke’s Grocery.
So Peter and I aimed for that as we walked thru the gray DC morning!
Now we have reached the neighborhood of Dupont Circle in DC.

And it was fun to see the word SKRĂP on the garbage cans out on the streets.
The Proper Burger at Duke’s Grocery.
Did it live up to the hype?
I would say so. It was delish!!
So worth the long walk. Also, a good thing that we worked for this burger, haha.
The French fries were so tasty as well. Peter and I shared a serving of those.
We hung out by the Potomac River for a bit watching some rowing competitions.
In the evening I made a really, really, really GOOD tomato soup.
It is made out of roasted veggies, mostly tomatoes, but also a lot of peppers, onions-- and a whole bulb of garlic. No cream whatsoever, so it is a healthy version of this soup. We enjoyed the soup with a grilled cheese sandwich.
Back by the Georgetown water front again!
Sunday it was also time for another long, local walk for Peter and I.
And again, my knees did behave.
Again, very thankful.
The temps are still like if it were summer. I am so tired of the warm weather now. Make it stop, haha!
With this I wish you all a good Tuesday!!

Kul med bokhandeln dÀr du bÄde kan ta en fika eller lite mat och kanske köpa en bok eller tvÄ. Er hamburgare ser vÀldigt god ut och pommesen ocksÄ. Tomatsoppan lÄter som en god idé att Àta till kvÀllen efter den goda maffiga hamburgaren.
Kul att se sÄ mÄnga vackra hus och fina entreér. Ni mÄste ha fÄtt vÀldigt mÄnga steg pÄ vandringen och sÄ skönt dina knÀn skötte sig . HÀr fortsÀtter ocksÄ vÀrmen och igÄr kvÀll och inatt fick vi Àntligen REGN som verkligen behövs. Ska nog fortsÀtta idag ocksÄ om prognosen stÀmmer. TÀnk att det bara Àr en dag kvar av september, vart tog den mÄnaden vÀgen?
Ha en fin tisdag och tack för stadsvandringen med fina bilder.
