I stayed home for most of the day, resting, reading, and messing with my pictures. Then around four, Rick and Jim were home and we walked together to meet the rest of us at the restaurant where we would celebrate Jim’s birthday. “We” (read me) were walking slowly and the rest of them caught up with us a block before our arrival.
Here are some pictures from that walk.
We gathered at Belga Café..

Christopher from Perfect Private Tours picked us up at the restaurant in a comfy 10 passenger Sprinter van to take us around the Monuments At Night.
He told us interesting and entertaining stories for 3 hours!
