It is indeed emerald as I caught an aerial glimpse of Washington from the plane. Arrived safely, walked into my hotel, and suddenly realized that I had stayed at this same hotel on my last trip. I didn't remember the name, but I remembered the lobby. I'm on the 15th floor, but even so there is no view of the bay because 1) there are a lot of much taller buildings nearby, many certifiable skyscrapers and high rise hotels, and 2) my window does not face the bay.
Did a lot of walking around the downtown area today and realized that I have a pretty good sense of direction partly because I've been here twice before. The streets feel very comfortable to me. I still recognize some places, like Post Alley, and remember this fantastic little Italian restaurant with no sign to identify it, except for one small pink door and the savory smells of garlic. Looking forward to going on an underground tour of the city tomorrow.
