What a day! First of all, I had to work from 8am to 1pm and then run home to pick up all my stuff and head to the airport to catch my flight. Luckily, my flight was delayed 20min. So I made it on time.
I am now writing from the hotel room at Washington D.C. and I am utterly EXHAUSTED.
Favorite things so far:
- The massive amount of people walking on the streets
- Easy transportation system
- Variety of restaurants
Least favorite things so far:
- There are far too many maintenance-work done on the metro wagons.
- Massive delay on each of the metro stations
- The ride from the airport to Alexandria, VA is not very pleasant, traffic wise.
Random thoughts:
- Chinatown is actually not that big of a Chinatown
- Every single person in Washington D.C. is extremely nice and awesome.
- there is an increased amount of gay people compared to Jacksonville, especially gay men.
What made my day:
- A 50-years-old random woman that looked just like my aunt, approached us at the dinning table at the Chinese restaurant we were eating at, and asked us SEVERAL times (more than 5 times to be precise) to join her and her date to take 'Sake-bombs'. After refusing her offer several times, she decided to come and seat at our table and talk about how awesome Venezuelan people are. I adored her. She definitely made my day! and night of course!
It's been a long busy day. Full of work, plane rides, long walking, and meeting new people. I am now off to my beauty sleep.
Pics of my day to follow.
Lova ya!
