Comfy Feet
As we left the festival, fully intending to go to the BBQ Battle on Penn Ave., we wandered through the Sculpture Garden to find the large fountain an oasis for weary tourists like ourselves. We joined a family from Texas and some Polish visitors by putting our feet in the cool water. Overcome by the desire to go swimming, we gave up on the barbeque (with its concentrated heat on the pavement) for the comfort of the pool (with the cool water).
How had I missed such a wonderful oasis in the middle of the Mall’s desert?
My God, man! Get a tan! You almost blinded me with those white legs.
My tan is sadly not what it used to be. Days of working indoors, under a no-short-ever regime has made it harder, though I will be working on it this summer. My arms and face show a bit more color thankfully!
