I have no clue. I only know about the Canadian embassy porch because my
sister took me there one delightful day. (Walked from her house to the
White House, and she lives in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood; walked over
towards the Mall; stopped by the Canadian embassy; went to the National
Gallery for lunch (and it *is* pricey, but there's this cool waterfall you
can sit near, and watch, and that was a really cool thing for us to do
when we made visits to DC when I was in high school); went to the Air &
Space Museum; took a call on my cellphone from my husband about some 49ers
player doing something horrible in Texas Stadium (so now someone can
figure out just which day it was!); walked up to Georgetown to try to get
a new battery for my watch, and failed; walked to the Kennedy Center for a
free concert that included Beethoven's 6th and Fanfare for the Common Man;
and then, finally took a *bus* to a stop within a few blocks of the best
guess I had for what might pass as Tex-Mex in DC, and I was only partially
disappointed (I'm picky about the texture of chicken in my enchiladas, and
what the @#$% is "coffee flan"?), and then headed back to her place, using
public transportation for as much as we could. Oh, and on the way to the
White House, we went past the church Clinton went to when he attended
church in DC, and it was about the right time for the service he usually
went to, but no Secret Service anywhere around, so our best guess is that
he didn't go to church that morning.)
