Next Stop was Washington DC, home of the White House, Endless Memorials, The Capitol Building, Washington Monument, Martin Luther King Movement, and Smithsonian Museums. I gota glimpse of all of these.
I really didnt like this city overall as far as cities go. alot of homeless crazy people.. crack is whack! and 1 block thr wrong way and you are in the Ghetto. it is all about power and Polatics here.
Met my travel buddy ed here, while stressing big in the Hostel Lounge trying to figure out where to go next. He had a rail pass, and was heading to a few places i wouldnt mind seeing, so i asked if he would mind and there you have it we travel north east USA together.
We hit the Washington Nightlife at a local Irish Pub, with a couple from the Highlands in Scotland and John a Sacramento native who just kinda floats around the country not really worried if he doesnt have a home, the most worldy 20 yr old i have ever met, then he got hitby a car after we had left him and caused us all worry for 24hrs but he ws ok just a little beat up! secret drinking in the hostel as the staff were really un freindly and there was a no alcahol policy which amazes me! Although we did walk halfway into serious ghetto to get out alcahol. very scary. i also had my first solo ghetto experience when i took 1 wrong turn very scary!!  fun times had but shitty city!
