PAST: Highlights for things to do from Freestylin' D.C. post!

Highlights for Saturday, February 26th
From my Freestylin' D.C. weekend post

Enjoy a free coffee tasting and learn more about what goes in to making a great cup of coffee at 11am, followed by a talk and yogurt tasting with Trickling Springs Creamery's yogurt maker at 1pm at the official Grand Opening Celebration at Yola, DC’s only non-frozen yogurt parfait bar and coffeeshop located just south of Dupont Circle at 1323 Connecticut Ave, NW.

Later in the day you can swing by Biagio Fine Chocolate- located between Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan at 1904 18th St, NW - from 3 to 6 p.m. for their February Sample Day, featuring complimentary samples of more than 15 chocolates, including a 68% dark chocolate from Peru, dark mint chocolate and milk rosemary-orange chocolate.

It’s the opening reception for Juan Tejedor's "Standing Atop the Ladder" at Flashpoint Gallery, located across from the Gallery Place metro at 916 G St, NW from 6-8pm. In this show- his first solo exhibition in DC -Tejador presents a variety of media including sculpture and works on paper, and examines various natural and man-made systems- including public transit routes, star systems, and bird migratory patterns- to investigate the very nature of structure and organization. The show will be on view through March 26.

It’s the opening day of the new high-tech meets ancient-relics exhibit “Echoes of the Past: The Buddhist Cave Temples of Xiangtangshan” on view through July 31 at the Sackler Gallery, 1050 Independence Avenue, SW. This unique exhibit combines modern technology - including touch screens and a 3-D video recreation of a Buddhist devotional cave temple - to explore majestic 6th-century Chinese Buddhist sculpture from the Northern Qi dynasty (550-77 CE).
