Its election time which has been very enlightening on the political situation of DC. Apparently there are no representatives with voting power in the House or Senate which creates a unique situation for our government capital.

Instead I arrived at 5am and made my way to the hostel which was small and shabby but very cosy and friendly. There weren't any staff there so I just curled up on a couch in the common room and slept until about 1 http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/District-of-Columbia/Washington/blog-523689.html Today was our first day officially in Washington DC. Our goal was to see a few museums maybe a few monuments and try to stay cool as the temperature soared. We did pretty well on most. I don't like heat.We spent 5 minutes in the truck on our way to Greenbelt Station our subway stop of choice for the next four days. It's truly amazing that we could be on a train heading in to DC within 15 minute http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/District-of-Columbia/Washington/blog-512867.html Very warm today like 15 degrees. Didn't even really need a jacket til late afternoon. Today we decided to again do the touristy thing with the hoponhopoff bus. So we caught the metro to Central station to get the tickets and start the tour. There were double decker options but the woman said it would leak if it rained and it was drizzling. So went went for the trolley option which is like a tram http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/District-of-Columbia/Washington/blog-470680.html Well Hello from our new residence The RitzCarlton at Pentagon City.

The train ride was fine. Amtrak has really been great. We don't have one complaint. Every train took off on time and we thought each ride was very affordable. We found a room right across the street from Union Station at the Phoenix Park Hotel. The rooms are really nice and the location is great.
