... good night out - i met loads of cool people including Lea, a fun Belgian girl who working in a chocolate shop back home. One of the guys arrived back at the hostel having been robbed at gunpoint (after wandered into the wrong part of town).

The following day I recovered from the hangover, visited the Aerospace museum (one of the 18 free Smithsonian museums in DC) with Doreen and generally just mooched around ...

... Ours kept getting us lost, and didn't have a spiel for the tour, hope they work on that.... I thought wow a private tour of the Capitol how special is that, small and intimate....not...As we came into the Brumidi Corridors and the Main dome of the Capitol, there were "private" tours from every state in the Union, with the high ceilings and acoustics it was very noisy. But did you know that John Quincy Adams was the only President that later went on to be ...

... our group was let in (we were allocated the 10am time slot). Up to the top we went and what a great view of DC we were treated to! I would highly recommend that you do this. There's an elevator that takes ...

... and I were ready to leave Pusser's bc it was so busy and go to Mangia's for pizza (i hadn't had dinner yet) and then Macgarvey's. But I still have the strongest 7 & 7 in my life to finish...so I chugged it! lol Thank god I ate some real food afterwards! Overall it was a great time and wonderful seeing everyone!

... Leigh took us on a walking tour of mid-town Manhattan (including Washington Square, Greenwich Village, Chelsea and Soho)and explained things to us from a local's point of view. It was a most enjoyable four hours, followed by our excursion to the statue of Liberty, so we were fairly tired by the time we got back to our room. Another place we visited was Madame Tussaud's, having run out of time to see it in ...

... a waste of life and onto the bridge, its big, its busy, cool walk, we got half way across the bridge then turned and hightailed it back to the hotel to grab our bags and get to the airport took the super shuttle, $20 each from hotel to JFK, got to the airport 3 hours before the flight, and the first departures board we see says Air India 3 hours late, only leaving at 10pm, damn, another nail in the coffin of air india

... SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR WITH THE 'Q' LINE - AND COULD FIND MOST THINGS FROM THAT LINE. WITHIN A FEW BLOCKS AT LEAST. HAD TO STOP ALL THE TIME TO ORIENATE MYSELF TO FIGURE OUT DIRECTIONS - EAST/WEST AND UP/DOWN. SUBWAY SYSTEM IS MOST IMPRESSIVE. I WOULD HAVE TO SPEND SOME TIME FIGURING IT OUT AS IT WAS NOT AS SIMPLE AS SOME BIG CITIES - LONDON OR PARIS FOR EXAMPLE. BUT IT OBVIOUSLY WORKS FOR THEM AS IT IS VERY BUSY AND QUICK TOO. FYI -- Subway ...

... a good work out. Day 10 We pack up and head to Gettysburg...Yes I know what you are saying, Why did they not go to this before DC, well the dates for the tours for the White House and Capital were already set so we had to just work around those dates. So we are backtracking a bit. Today we saw the Gettysburg Cemetery where Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address. If you are wondering the original Gettysburg Address is in Washington DC at the Library of Congress.

... design work. We stopped to see a house she had been commissioned to do. The owner had recently declined fifteen million so you can imagine what type of home we were looking at. Next a ferry took us to the town of Oxford on the Tred Avon River. We stopped for lunch at the Robert Morris Inn. This was the home of Robert Morris Jr. "The Financier of the American Revolution" and one of America's founding fathers. He was considered to be the first of the three great treasury ...
