Back by popular demand...it's List & Comment Friday! It also means I'm gonna make a mean Raspberry Sparkler tonight and chill out :)So as I get myself ready to temporarily be a Seattlite again for the next 3 months, I look back on how DC's been so far. And I took a peek at my "List of Things To Do in DC" that I made before we got here, and I was quite pleased to see I actually haven't done too shabby!

Thanks dude:)
Love the zoo! DC's zoo is the perfect size. I want to walk through rock creek park...
I want DC art from the eastern market guy too!
Can't wait for my zoo trip now! Yeah I don't know how that Eastern Mkt guy does it, with painting after painting that look awesome.
Hmmm...add to this list:
Paint furniture white, like have been meaning to for YEARS.
Ryan and I want to see that light sculpture at the National Gallery too!
As for NY, I want to see the Cloisters. There's a huge burlesque scene and I've never seen a full show, so I'd like to check that out. Seeing something at the MET opera is on my list, as well as taking the Circle line (a boat tour) above Manhattan.
I hope that all your NY dreams come true! And we're totally seeing that light sculpture next time you guys are in town.
Things I've Done in Casablanca:
- Gotten verbally abused at the mosque for not being appropriately dressed (seeing the 3rd largest mosque in the world and the only one in Morocco open to non-Muslims was pretty sweet, too)
- Drank along the Corniche
- Enjoyed countless deals on seasonal produce items
- Taken a day trip to Rabat and a weekend trip to Marrakech
- Shopped for traditional items and outfits at the habous
- Witnessed a sheep slaughter and helped take part in the cleaning of organs for consumption
Things to do in Casablanca:
- go to the Central Market, buy some fish and have them grill it at one of the stands
- Dress appropriately for the mosque and hit up the tour again
- Plan trip to the desert
- Go out drinking Moroccan style - until at least 5am (don't be a loser and plan to show up to start the evening NO EARLIER than 11pm)
- tour visiting friends around my awesome neighborhood
- learn enough French or Moroccan Arabic to get around...
You forgot: "learn how to say 'breasts' in french" ;)
When I come to visit, add The Textile Museum - I keep hearing about it and can't believe I haven't managed to get there!
Textile museum's on the list now! :)
