The following post is from our advertiser, Passport DC.

This Saturday, take that much needed vacation. Passport DC opens doors to authentic music, dance, crafts, and cuisine at more than 30 embassies in Washington – so you can travel to foreign lands without stepping foot on a plane. Wander the halls at countries such as Bahrain, Ethiopia, and Thailand, chat with ambassadors, sip rum punch, shop outdoor bazaars, learn to salsa, or relax with a massage at the Embassy Open House on May 2.

Passport DC is entirely free and invites DC residents and visitors to celebrate the rich international community found in our backyard. On May 2, look for information tables and shuttles at the Dupont Circle and Van Ness Metro stations, as you make your way around the world.
