Dickensian Weather!


Saturday, the 11th in Washington City (Downtown DC)


Mostly
Sunny
Hi 47

Hurrah! says Tiny Tim. Sunny and forty seven degrees. Bundle up my dears. The Cratchits wear multiple layers on the Dickens Tour. And those little handwarmers they sell at the hardware store are also a lovely addition to your outerwear. This tour is so lively it will keep you warm And after the tour duck into one of the many toasty restaurants in Penn Quarter to warm up. Zatinya at 9th and G (right around the corner) has a fireplace which is wonderful. Poste, inside the Monaco Hotel is lovely and warm inside and the food is delightful. Cosi, our starting point, has a hot, hot bread oven that is lovely to look at. And right across the street from Cosi is the Giffords Hot Chocolate window. There is also Bistro d'OC on 10th Street.

Things to see after the tour: shopping is easy with the Downtown Holiday Mart at 8th and F (you can't miss it my dears!)

More anon,

Mrs. C
