Day 3

I will be staying in Washington DC for a little over a month and I thought I would document my adventures on my days off from work.

I had lunch at a little bistro called Circa at Dupont where I had the best caprese salad of my life. It is located within the Dupont Circle area. One thing I’ve noticed about DC, since becoming a Vegetarian, is I’ve been having difficulty finding veggie friendly things to eat. All I’ve been able to find so far are pizza, cheese, and Famous Amos cookies.

It’s been about eight years since I first came to Washington DC and I have forgotten how beautiful and historic all of the buildings are.

After lunch I walked down the street to the Phillips Collection Museum for the Georgia O’Keeffe: Abstraction exhibition. This isn’t exactly abstract, but it is my favorite piece from the entire exhibition. Georgia O’Keeffe: A Portrait.

UFO? Weather? What ever it is, it’s amazing.

“And you thought rainbows were cool. A few days ago, a mysterious cloud shaped like a halo appeared over Moscow, and the buzz has yet to break.

We’re the first to admit that a photograph of the heavenly cloud appears to be photoshopped. It’s just so…perfect. But meterologists have spoken up and said the cloud wasn’t digitally altered. However, it wasn’t exactly what it appeared to be, either.

When the cloud initially formed, some UFO enthusiasts declared it to be a “true mystery.” Some even compared it to the giant spaceship hovering over Earth in the movie “Independence Day.” Reality quickly dashed any predictions of an alien invasion. An article from the Daily Mail explains that the “luminous ring-shaped cloud” was simply an optical effect.

An official spokesperson for Moscow’s weather department said, “Several fronts have been passing through Moscow recently, there was an intrusion of the Arctic air too, the sun was shining from the west — this is how the effect was produced.”

The cloud loomed last week, but the searches are still soaring. Lookups on “halo cloud” and “moscow cloud” are both booming, and a video clip has garnered hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube. You can check it out for yourself below… ”
