#3 Washington DC

On Tuesday ADam and I took an overnight train to DC. Never ride Amtrak! It was a crap experience...3 hours late...retarded air conditioner. When we arrived in DC it was great walking around and seeing all the major attractions. We found DC to be a real international crossroads. The deep southern drawl of a few days ago was replaced by 20 different languages. We heard French, Chinese, Korean, German, Spanish, Russian, and about 15 other languages as we strolled around. The other great thing about Washington is that everything is free. Well, food and beer aren't exactly free, but everything else is. ADam and I spent hours walking around without having to pay any sort of an enterance fee.

First, we went to the monuments. The Washington Monument is big. It dominates the skyline and can be seen from almost everywhere. The Lincoln Memorial is big too. It makes people look like dwarfs. The White House is well guarded. In fact there isn't a single trash can within a two block radius of the place. I remember this becasue I was trying to throw away an empty coffee cup and had a hell of a time finding a bin to stash my nukes. Also, the fuzz were thick patrolling the area. Some guy stepped off the sidewalk and received a good ol' tongue lashing. "Sir, get off the road!" Wow! William Wallace would be quaking in his freedom loving boots...or Mel Gibson going on a freakout. The monuments are really nice and well visited.


Later on, we hit the museum circuit. At the National Air and Space Museum we saw a huge USSR missle from the cold war, the Wright Brother's plane, and the Moon Rover (the car thing that drove on the moon). At the National Art Museum we saw DaVinci's other portrait. Other than the Mona Lisa, this is the only other portrait painted by DaVinci. So, it was like seeing the Mona Lisa without all the hype and crowds. Oh, who am I fooling... At the Natural History Museum we saw the Hope Diamond (it would give Gollum some serious wood) and dinosaurs. By then ADam and I had been looking at a million different things for hours upon hours. We were getting frazzled and had to call it a day.
