My brother works downtown as a contractor at a government agency (he and 3.8 bajillion other Metro Washingtonians) and every once in a while, I go down and meet him for lunch. We usually go for fries at Five Guys and then spend an hour or so wandering the corridors and exhibit halls of the National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Want to see a slice of D.C. diversity? Ride Metro. You'll see lobbyists,
interns, Congressional aides, construction workers, students, tourists, government
employees, military personnel, white people, black people, Hispanics/Latinos,
Asians, Indian Indians and Native American Indians, veterans, protesters,
Republicans, Democrats, Independents, singers, poets, people of faith, and atheists.
You name the demographic and you're likely to find it on Metro.

To get from Point A to Point B, I usually take some form of Metro transportation, because it's cheap and easy. Today's post features pictures from my latest Metro ride between the Navy Memorial/Archives station and the Columbia Heights/Park Road station. The latter is the stop for Target, which is where I went after our lunch. From there, I walked home, which was a good 3.5 miles. Nothing like combining a few great activities: seeing my brother, eating, culture, shopping, photography, and exercise!
