Hiking in DC

Long Walk : 4 miles (6 km) from Home to Georgetown trough the park.

Woke up to a lovely day! Cold, but I have learnt that around lunch-time it will warm up if the sun is out (and it definitely was). So after a morning of admin work, updating Resumes and sorting out a few more books, I decided to take a hike through the mysterious park I walked around a few weeks ago. I have found out where the entrance is now. It's funny there are no signposts whatsoever and evidently a park in the city is intersected by roads here and there. But after you come out of the park, and cross the road, you have no idea how to proceed or in which direction. This happened at least 3 times during the walk and I just had to guess which was the right direction towards Georgetown and the river (where I had a feeling the park would finally end).

It really was not a park as such, but a bit of wild forest with a path through it. Occasionally you came to a clearing with a meadow, and the you were back in the wild again.
After a few miles, not sure how far, I finally made the river and then followed that into Georgetown, where I had a nice meal and a glass of wine.
