Today was the 9th annual Foggy Bottom/West End block party, held on GW's campus in the park behind the metro and next to the hospital. It was a fun event for local vendors, clubs, and advocacy groups to spread their messages, give away coupons, and regale Foggy Bottom and West End residents with SWAG!
I went with fellow e-board members of
The Global Language Network, first to set up a table and get people to sign up, but then to visit the other booths and see what they had to offer! We got some free cookies from Trader Joe's and Circa, free apple cider from TJ's also, a West End Library card (or the application, at least), and a pickle on a stick from Potbelly's! So that alone equals a good day. On top of that, there were live music and dance performances.

Fun times had by all! And it was an absolutely gorgeous day, barely a cloud in the sky and a perfect 74 degrees out, but still with that crisp autumn chill that I love so much. It was also fun to see parents walking around with their students, I like seeing classmates with their parents--you can often see a bit of them in their kids. It's just fun to people-watch.
