capitol city

yussssss. i am now in the city of... um, lost symbols? Yes and truly it is quite beautiful (i am saying that about every place here aren't i? it doesn't make it less true, if that helps).

Basically i am staying in a err rather cramped but friendly hostel in Adams Morgan, a pretty happening part of town (atleast as far as awesome streetscene, restaurants, bars and nightlife go) and it is alsoa very photogenic area, i believe.

Today included a trip to the Smithsonian museums of natural history and of air and space. Highly entertaining (me and emma had some good laughs i feel at the expense of our dear homo-neanderthalis brothers) and very interesting. Would you believe they actually have a McDonalds in the smithsonian museum though? it made me lose a bit of respect for them, to be honest.

(will continue writing later, lights out now... haha)

  1. Looking forward to seeing part of the Smithsonian myself. I have the jaw bone of a icthyosaur and I understand the rest of him was sent from Queensland to the Smithsonian in the early 1970's!
