It's That Good! A typical early autumn Sunday, la vie 'thesdanienne. UD, Mr. UD, and UD's sister take a fifteen minute ride to Great Falls, Maryland. First stop (click on each photo to enlarge), food for the rigors of the hike to come along the C & O Canal, and over the raging waters of the Potomac River. We choose a restaurant in downtown Potomac, which greets us with a sign that says it all: It's that good. Mad kayakers tumble down the rapids while crowds of onlookers stand at the Maryland and Virginia river overlooks. As is often the case, our threesome is the only group of people here speaking English. Mr. UD (all in black, head of the line) joins a group of other ordinary citizens to help the historically-accurately-dressed canal keepers (who arrive in historically accurate Dodge pickups) close (or open - I can't remember) one of the canal locks. After our walk on the wild side, we return to our mum-infested houselet in Garrett Park. |
