We were on the move again... In the morning we went to the Philadelphia bus station, where due to our tickets the bus should leave. After asking around and endless tries to call the bus company, we figured that we have been tricked and there will be no bus... nor did anyone at the station, neighter cabdrivers and street cleaners ever heard of that company. So after digesting, that we mostlikely lost the ticket with no refund we had to find a bus (train is too expensive) that would have 3 free seats two days before thanksgiving. We were lucky and got some for a reasonable price and 3 hours later. So we arrived around 5p.m in Washington D.C, where from we took the metro to Greenbelt, MD. There we have been received very friendly from our "Couch contact" Saji and we will together with him host a big "couchsurfer thanksgiving dinner" (he expects 40 people to come). So we are looking forward for tomorrow....
