  RL> Where is the Kabul Caravan??
  RL> 
  ER> Up Wilson Boulevard from Rosslyn.  Precise address in your phone book.
  ER> It's a 2-minute drive from Rosslyn.  Coming from I-66 EASTBOUND, you
  ER> take the exit after Spout Run and before Key Bridge, hang a fairly
  ER> immediate right up the street that's after Princess Street, and when
  ER> you get to Wilson it's in the shopping center immediately on your
  ER> right.

Update -- we had dinner at Pho 75, just four or five doors down from Kabul
Caravan, this past evening.

Eastbound I-66, take the Rosslyn/Key Bridge exit (which is, indeed, after the
Spout Run/US-29 exit), and JUST after the big, white FURNITURE building on the
right, turn right on /Quinn/ Street.  Through the first light on Quinn, turn
right JUST before the second light, try to park in the little lot that serves
all eight small restaurants.  Return to I-66 by way of Princess Street down to
the I-66 exit, turn right and come back when you get to the Rosslyn traffic
circle.


Dinner at Pho 75: so-so.  The usual mediocre service for a pho restaurant, good
broth, TOUGH meatballs, delicious onion in vinegar, very good tapioca with
bananas for my daughter, and my iced coffee with milk was superb, and actually
had enough ice (an unusual occurrence in Vietnamese restaurants).  B+.  Big
crowd at our table (10+) and I'd say the average rating was a B+/A-.  We'll go
back, but probably hit the little pho joint at the Eden Shopping Center, near
Seven Corners, first.
