The Bureau of Engraving and Printing

I am going to switch from the chronological narrative of my last post in order to discuss the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, or BEP for short.  Their ticket system is not logical, nor is it explained on their website.  It has government planning written all over it! I will spare you our confusing story, and stick to the fundamental facts.

D.C. Gluten Free

The primary focuses of this blog are eating gluten free, and writing, so I am going to combine the two and write about how I ate gluten free in Washington, D.C. I am also going to cover sights we saw, and things I wish I knew beforehand, and generally compile helpful tidbits from books, guides, maps, and websites I used.

We traveled to D.C. on Sunday, and got in to our hotel late in the evening. We stayed in Alexandria, Virginia (not to be confused with Arlington, VA, which is just to the north of Alexandria.)

On Monday, we took advantage of the free shuttle to the Van Dorn Street Metro. Several nearby hotels offer this service to their patrons.
