2. B. recommend we dine at Fogo De Chao and we're so glad we did! The entire experience was fun and delicious. I finished my meal with chocolate coffee- coffee with Kalhua and Godiva chocolate, topped with whipped cream and served in a pretty glass mug.

The National Gallery of Art is my favorite place in the world. Make sure you take the stairs so you can see Salvador Dali's Last Supper. I found it quite by accident - astounding.
