Days 3 & 4

Ack went to his first day of work. Took the bus to the metro, total door to door time was about 70 minutes. The office NOAA originally had for me was changed; the new one is more private and a nice south-east view. Unfortunately, that meant no computer and no phone. At night we went to another restaurant within walking distance. Pasha Cafe on Lee Highway, a Persian cafe that was very good. We both had eggplant, since we had a bad eggplant year in our Wisconsin garden. Ack's eggplant was covered with a ground lamb sauce and Anne's was in a delicious moussaka layered with zucchini.

Wednesday Sept 5: Ack worked at home in the morning - catching up on emails - and then went to Silver Spring to meet with a NOAA group working on the Satellite Capitalization plan. We ate dinner at Cassatt's - A Kiwi Cafe, a recommendation of friend Paddy Bowman's and a very short drive from the house up Lee Highway. Ack had a nice house salad, the dressing was tasty but I could not tell you want it was! The lamb as in general good, although a piece or two of the kabob were a bit dry. The kiwi and mango sauce that went with the lamb was very tasty. The potatoes were good and vegetable delicious. The cafe was decorated with art work from local artists in the Arlington Artists Alliance, which were varied, nice and for sale.
