A New Quadrant

Today marks the end of the first full week of my new residence off of H Street NE.  I've lived in NW since I moved to DC in 2004, except for a three month stint in Anacostia.  So far so good.  

One of the most difficult things about moving into a new area is figuring out how to get places in a timely manner.  From Mt Pleasant, I know how to get pretty much everywhere.  From H Street, well, I've made a lot of bad decisions in the last week that got me caught in Columbus Circle or Florida Ave for lengthy periods of time.  Today my task is getting from here to Southwest Waterfront.  WMATA tells me that I should take the bus to Anacostia station and then the metro.  Um, I don't think so.  I think I'll just walk to Union Station and take metro.  

On the more exciting side of living in a new place, I get to explore new interesting walks and restaurants...and even random stores.  There is a thrift store along H Street that I had never noticed before.  Doesn't look like I will find any vintage gems in there, but you never know what kind of quirky purse or top you might find in the most random places.  I had brunch at Granville Moore's today and had a delicious egg sandwich with avocado, bacon and chipotle mayo.  It was my first time not eating mussels there. 

All in all it's been a great transition.  I'm excited about the summer adventure here!
