Coming home

As G. and I drove back into DC late on Sunday night, I commented that “there’s nothing like a weekend in New 
[1]York City to make you feel like you live in a backwater town.” The lack of cars! The empty sidewalks! The open sky! DC was so… peaceful after the jam-packed-24-hour-ness of NYC.
Okay, so their Chinatown [2] trumps ours [3]. But a brief comparison between the Union Square Farmer’s Market [4] and the Dupont Circle Farmer’s Market [5] revealed similar pricing for at least the basics we looked over. And we didn’t see anything there we don’t get here, so perhaps our lower population density [6] isn’t always a disadvantage.
