well, I made it. $2.70 RT on Metro--Blue line to Metro Central, change to Red Line, 2 stops to Dupont Circle. Exit Q street--walk one block to Mass Ave NW--head to embassy row--thru first circle, over Parkway--first left--up hill to consulate--whew--I'm tired again! I think it was almost a mile (3oth street--lonnnnnnnng blocks.)
