Did you miss me? I have now lived in DC for nearly a year and I have to say I am really enjoying it so far.  Over the past several months I have been acclimating myself to my surroundings. There are many great concert venues, restaurants, bars, and museums in the area that can keep one quite busy.  I have found that there are also several blogs in DC that relate to local color so, I’m not quite sure what to do just yet.   In the meantime, I’ll keep you up to date on what I think is fun and exciting in this city.

This brings me to the happenings this week.  Beer Week anyone? What is now becoming an annual tradition, or so I’m told, DC hosts a beer week each summer.  Several brewers and restaurants participate to offer a wide selection of beers to sample throughout the week along with food pairings.  Some events are free while others cost a few sheckles. I kick off the week’s activities with a visit to Cafe St. Ex for the Brooklyn Brewery tasting for Beer Week.

Unfortunately, my schedule is quite packed this week already so I won’t make it to too many other events. Brew at the Zoo, I will miss thee.  Perhaps I can booze with the Orangutans on Halloween? Perhaps.  I will however be able to tell you much more about DC tourism by week’s end.  Monuments and museums here I come.

It’s good to be back.
