As a follow up to Lucy's message, I'd like to offer a couple of other pointers for getting around on the Metro.

Especially during the day and crucially during rush hour, the local practice is to walk on the left and stand on the right when you're using the escalators. If you're travelling with anyone else, particularly a group, please stand one behind the other rather than side-by-side so that you're not blocking the "walking" lane. If you're travelling with a suitcase, please also hold it in front of or behind you when on the escalators.

I don't remember if Rachel mentioned this, but if you'd prefer to walk down the hill instead of up, you may take the Metro to the Woodley Park/Zoo stop and walk down to the hotel. It's a little further in distance, but will probably take you about the same amount of time walking.

Looking forward to seeing many of you next week,
Cheryl
