We took Amtrak here and went through Baltimore on the way in. Holy shit: it looked like a war zone. I thought I had seen some of the worst scenes on Chicago's south side, but this was jaw droppingly bad.
Naturally we headed to Georgetown after we got in. It's like Kerrisdale on steroids. It was so tony, so luxe, so sunny and perfect and expensive and beautiful. And everyone was out for a run, to boot. And of course they were banging out 7:30s or something ridiculous. We kept waiting for the slow groups to run past us, but apparently no one in Georgetown is a laggard.
Our hotel here is totally old and eclectic. Apparently lots of journalist and political types like to frequent the bar here, so I am going to try and seduce a congressman.
Tomorrow I think we're going to try for a run and check out the White House and all that jazz.
Been watching House of Cards? If not, you should!
ReplyDeleteHouse of Cards is AWESOME!!!!! Seduce a congressman? All you have to do is look at one and drop to your knees.
ReplyDeleteI think I finished watching HOC in like four days. When the eff is season two starting?
ReplyDeleteFascinating story (because I am a fascinating individual): the crane that you see in the opening credits of HOC is still up here.
