Recognized in DC

Yes, we lived in DC for thirteen years. We moved to northern Virginia three years ago. We still miss our old neighborhood. Not the inconvenience, but the surroundings. So every week we have made it a habit to drive in to the city for a morning walk. Oftentimes the purpose is to take photos for the weekly challenge contest that I belong to. On Monday we parked in the old neighborhood and walked over to the Navy Yard and Yards Park. It has changed so much since we first moved. The only buildings were the department of transportation and a Marriott in between all of the run down dwellings. Now it has more buildings and the nationals stadium and is densely populated with high rises and hotels. So we walked along the waterfront. Today we drove in and parked by the American Indian museum and headed towards the Smithsonian castle. While waiting at the stop light a young lady asked us if we were enjoying our time in DC. She said she saw us walking along the river front in Yards Park earlier this week while she was walking her dog. We told her we lived in DC a and now drive in for morning walks. Then she wished us a pleasant day. It doesn’t sound like much but what are the odds of being recognized in a city as big as DC? I was wearing the same coat and hat and it’s not infrequent that people in a neighborhood recognize us because my husband and I are always together. It just seemed strange to be recognized out of the blue - but in a good way.
