Embassy Walk in Van Ness w/ UDC & HU school of law

This jovial jaunt is a paved 3.8mile mostly easy walk with some hidden hills & full of stairs (270 in total). Pace: 3mph. The trek traverses embassies as well as academic campuses in D.C.'s Van Ness neighborhood... Can you enumerate all the embassies?

The walk first frolics about the University of D.C. (UDC) with an 'amphitheater ascent' that leads to the Henderson Sports complex, which was named after the "Father of Black Basketball". The circuit then embraces enigmatic embassies that are collectively known as the International Chancery Center (ICC). After ambling through alleys the trek pauses parallel to International Park.

Latter of the circuit descends a snaky staircase then creeps by an eerie alley of eyes before encircling new & old Howard University (HU) School of Law buildings, including a Kennedy Center look-a-like known as the Allen Mercer Daniel Library; enjoy a vacuous vista of D.C. here. Following a gander at a grandiloquent grotto the walk concludes among terracing towers.
