Connecticut Avenue Bridge as seen from below in Rock Creek Park. This is a 5-10 minute walk from our apartment, and Sisu loves to go down and play in the creek (right). It's nice living so close to the park, although this far south it's pretty narrow and the recreational path running through it tracks the road very closely so the beauty of a park is sort of dulled by the cars whizzing by. And man, do they fly! We tried crossing the road the other day and it was like playing Frogger at an advanced level. I don't know what the speed limit is on Beach Drive, but I'm pretty sure most drivers exceed it—by quite a bit.
