Not only have I fallen in love with my internship at Washington Life, I have sort of fallen in love with the area in DC where the office is located. Its in the residential area of Dupont Circle, surrounded by embassy's. On any given day I pass the embassy's of France, Ireland, Darfur, Loas, Greece, Haiti, and Syria (and thats not even all of them). To say the least, these residences are incredibly beautiful, and I feel lucky to be able to see them every single day.
Another part of my daily walk that I have really come to love is the staircase that I walk up and down for lunch and to go home. Its like a cut through, but for some reason it reminds me so much of this book called The Secret Garden that I read when I was young. It truly is nothing like that book. However, for those few minutes that I walk up and down those stone steps I feel like I am not in the Nation's capital. I feel like I am in some little dream land. I cannot wait to see it when the weather is warm and the fountain (complete with water coming from the lion's head!) is working, and there is lush green vegetation everywhere. I'm excited just painting myself this mental picture.
This picture is taken from a pretty far distance.
I'll take one of the fountain when its a nicer day in DC.
