I had NEVER even seen a metro (subway system) in real life before arriving here in the DC area. And now, I ride it everyday to get to and from work...and I love it! This photo is of the escalator I ride down into the underground and back up to ground level each day. It takes about 45 seconds to ride it down and my daughter discovered online, that this is the third longest escalator ride in the world...so its a fun, long, historic ride ha!
This is the quiet, and pretty empty metro station where I am waiting for my train at the end of my work day to take me home. (It gets busy and very full, about 3 stops later!)
Anyway, now I am a metro-riding-mama.

I think another one of the longest subway (metro)escalators is in Kiev, Ukraine. I have been on that one and it was totally packed with people. Very interesting experience.
I always loved riding the DC metro. But I also like the one in SF too. wish more places had them. Sounds like you are fitting in and enjoying your new place. I lived in DC for a while in the mid 80's. Always said if I had the money I'd live there again. Exciting place, so much history too. Enjoy this season.
