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.
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.
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.
Georgetown people.
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.
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.
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 it was fun to see the word SKRÄP 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 där du både kan ta en fika eller lite mat och kanske köpa en bok eller två. Er hamburgare ser väldigt god ut och pommesen också. Tomatsoppan låter som en god idé att äta till kvällen efter den goda maffiga hamburgaren.
Kul att se så många vackra hus och fina entreér. Ni måste ha fått väldigt många steg på vandringen och så skönt dina knän skötte sig . Här fortsätter också värmen och igår kväll och inatt fick vi äntligen REGN som verkligen behövs. Ska nog fortsätta idag också om prognosen stämmer. Tänk att det bara är en dag kvar av september, vart tog den månaden vägen?
Ha en fin tisdag och tack för stadsvandringen med fina bilder.

Den burgaren ser väldigt läcker och välgjord ut, roligt ni tyckte om den när ni nu väl tagit er dit, även om promenaden nog var skön oavsett. Och roligt för mig att få se hus och omgivningar.
Tomatsoppa är så gott, jag gör gärna också av rostade veggies, blir absolut bäst då.
En passande skylt hittade du!
Så glad dina knän beter sig bra, och tack för hänget i helgen! Kramar
Jag älskar bokaffärer överlag och försöker stötta sådana vart jag än kommer. Det är klart att Adlibris och Bokus (svenska onlinebutiker) har jätteutbud, men de kan inte bjuda på känslan, doften, drömmarna...
Anyways, det var kul att träffas och jag ser fram emot nästa gång. Jag ska bara klura ut ett passande ämne att diskutera. Kram på dig!
Vilken härlig promenad du tog med oss på. Och så bra att hamburgaren var till belåtenhet som killen hade sagt på You Tube.
Så trevligt med en bokhandel som man både kan äta på och köpa böcker i.
Kram Carin
Burgaren ser väldigt god ut. Yum! Perfekt med tomatsoppa som middagsmat. Du kanske vill lägga ut receptet ;-)?
Fint att det fortfarande finns sådana bokhandlar. Älskar att gå omkring och titta på alla omslag, ta någon bok och slå mig ner med en kopp kaffe.
Kram, Lisa
