Trip to D.C. - Part 1

 Sometimes you wake up and realize you need to go see a friend. This time that friend lived in Alexandria just outside of Washington DC. I had some time on my own to explore Oldtown, get my mom some bolivian goodies, and catch up with some people I haven't seen in what feels like a lifetime while consuming all of the food. All of it. :)

Killer E.S.P. my new favorite place in Oldtown. I bought a total of 6 saltenas in 3 days from here. No regrets. Definitely stop by this place next time you're near Alexandria.

Being in D.C. means stopping by the latino grocery and picking up all the bolivian treats that aren't available in Atlanta. Bestway Supermercado will take care of you.
