... towards the Whitehouse, arrived at a corner and figured it was time to give our friend a call on the phone to ask where or what direction we should head. No problem, go to 15 and L street, GREAT if you have any idea where they may be. Well we walked the next block to find 15 and off in the wrong direction until we realized this problem, U-turn (much easier on foot than in the Castle!) create footsteps along the route and find that 15th street turns in to ...

We have had our last sleep in morning after a night of Shakesperian Tragedy in The Park.... We are cleaning for our subletter and thinking about what to pack. The cats have decided not to come with us, which we are sad about but think it is the best choice for them. This time next week they are inviting all the cats ...

... right next to one another, so we had to walk a mile or so to get there which was more than I really cared to since I was already sore and trying to save myself for the race. We then headed to the prep, pee, and stretch area. Now I knew this was a big race, but they weren't messing around. I've never see that many porto-potties at any event much less a race. The pictures don't do it justice since I didn't have a wide angle lense but you'll see in the background they seem to go ...

... that a small amount of them must have felt that day. We walked up that hill and we walked down. But we will walk up again and again and again. We will speak out for the fallen. We are the people. We are the proud, the brave, but not the few. We are the United States of America and we demand that this racist war come to end. Not next summer or in 2009, but NOW. We demand for this criminal fascist president who has the blood of thousands on his hands to be ...

... new Samsonite. Flaming orange Samsonite. Pumpkin orange. I was horrified, and it must have shown. I tried to be appreciative, but orange? "So that it doesn't get mixed up with others," she helpfully explained. Well, that would certainly be true. Nobody would claim/steal/mistake those gawd-awful bags. But I was 18 and self-respecting, and practicality was definitely not one of my concerns. Eventually, my mother graciously swapped me her older ...

... spent till early afternoon at the cavern then went back to the rv for lunch the bestwestern has a "water park" 2 slides a pirate ship water activity and a water mushroom, plus there's a pool. The kids had fun doing the slides. Later that night we went to the bat flight at Carlsbad caverns. During the summer at dusk the bats fly from the cave at dusk to go out and feed on insects. They estimate there's anywhere between 400,000 to 1 million bats that ...

It snowed last night and was so cold today that the snow did not at all until the afternoon. Very unusual for DC: all the schools were closed and half the NSF officers didn't show up because of the weather ... and all the Bostonians here think the DC people are wimps ...

Hi there, Welcome to my first entry. I'm leaving for Syndey, in 2 days. I will be keeping you updated of my journey using this site. I have been invited to watch the New Years Eve fireworks at a beach party while I'm in Sydney. I'll keep you posted. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! -m

... seen. My Ranger instinct kicked in and within seconds I had established a mind-meld with the beast and it was under my control. I jumped on and rode it for all that it was worth. The others hadn't seen me do the Walker mind-meld before and were a little concerned. Trude, fearing for my safely, whipped out one of her spells. With a jolt the bull came to a halt, it's skin twitching violently with the force of the spell. Starting at the tail the beast started to become cold and ...

... interesting, but again, TONS of stuff, almost too much for us to see in one afternoon.
For dinner Pat and Christina made some veggie kebabs and homemade crab cakes. God, it was good! Jenny and I were saying that after being treated to so much homemade food while we were staying with them, it was going to be hard to go back to our 'camping food'!! After dinner we busted out the board games and had a vicious boys vs. girls game of Cranium. Needless to say, the girls kicked some ...
