Do Your Thing!

In typical Taurus fashion, convenience is a part of who I am. And in a city with immense international importance, convenience is everywhere. You can take a cab. Ride the metro. If you're a fan of transportation, you could even hunt down a trolley. But getting around doesn't matter if there's nowhere of interest to get. Fortunately, DC has plenty to offer.

The many diverse restaurants in and around Chinatown and Eastern Market call to you. You can hear them howling, tempting you to spend, spend, spend. And giving in tastes so good you won't even mind.

The monuments in this city are grand, grandiose, breathtaking, heartbreaking, and all of them have been worth my time. The Holocaust Museum and Museum of the American Indian in particular captured my focus and kept it long after I left.

Shopping in DC is almost too easy. If you make a trip to Georgetown, you'll run into your typical college-area shops, but you'll pass everything from the district's small boutiques to the large department stores around Metro Center as well. There's something comforting about being surrounded by potential, even when you're keeping your eyes firmly on the ground and barely hanging onto the last shreds of your self control.

If you're a political junkie like I am, it really doesn't get better than DC. You can't swing a wet stick without hitting someone or something important. But, really, whatever it is you're looking for in DC, chances are it's right around the corner.
