I got sick. Real sick. So instead of going into Washington DC the past two days I have been sleeping. And sleeping. Watching tv. More sleeping. Eating. Sleeping. You get the point.

... that is the same size or bigger is okay as well as the new style backpacks that have strings you sling over the shoulders. So when you check your backpack you have to remove the following items; wallet, cameras, cell phones, any other items you might want that afternoon or other electronics.

About an inch and a half thick, the whole steak must have weighed nearly a pound. Jennifer would have been in heaven. It is served with sour cream mixed with fresh horseradish and chopped chives. Had a Bombay ...

... it is a tourist cafe, being so slose to the cemetery, it is actually really great to sit under the rubber trees and recieve awesome service from the old waiters that look like they have worked there all their lives. The cafe is popular as it used to be a stop for the cafe racers back in the 1950's. We had cafes and ice cream and they gave us free mini choclates with our bill.

We stepped out of the frigid National Geographic building (on 17th and M by Farragut Square) into perfection, crossed the street to our favorite Indian restaurant and ordered mango lassis (shakes) to go. We just put out an India-heavy issue of Traveler (www.nationalgeographic.com/traveler), so everyone still kind of has India on the brain. We ...
