A few weekends ago, before we really started transitioning to new work, Jordan took us up to his stomping grounds--where he has been working this year and we stopped into his favorite little bistro,
Takoma Bistro which is known for its French Onion soup, and beautiful little brunches. We really liked Takoma Park, a sort of "up and coming" neighborhood (except it's actually up and coming, not just misnomer for not really that nice, but maybe someday). There aren't really a lot of little shops there, just a few. While we were there, they had an Art Walk going on in some of their little shops, so it was neat to see what some of the local artists have been doing.
And then later in the afternoon, we visited the very large neo-gothic style
National Cathedral and all of its various crypts and underground nooks. They have some really interesting stained glass and softly painted tapestries. For some reason, we both just love spending time in these places--so quiet (when Gabriel isn't testing its acoustics), reflective and aesthetically beautiful.
While we were in Bath last year, we must have visited just about every cathedral on the southern part of England. I wrote a little blog about our experience then and decided to look back on it today. Will "reblog" some of those memories.
