We took an uber to Georgetown. We did some shopping and geocaching. It was nice, but enjoyed other parts of our trip more.

Campus grounds are generally open for walking with beautiful historic buildings - oldest campus building, Old North is where George Washington stood to address collegiate body. Healy Hall towers at main gate. Crossing the Potomac River on the Key Bridge is a nice walk into Georgetown.
