Talk about a perfect day. It's Indian summer and you're in the nation's capital, walking along storied Pennsylvania Avenue during the Taste of D.C., which claims to be the largest annual outdoor festival on the East Coast. The White House is your backdrop and Capitol Hill lies directly ahead. Pennsylvania Avenue is closed off and electric with excitement generated by tens of thousands of people, music booming from three stages and a symphony of alluring smells from cuisine prepared by Washington eateries. It's an event made for wandering and stopping and eating and drinking and wandering some more.
