| Random Trips - Tripping in DC |
| |
| Our (mis)adventures began early on Friday morning. I woke up early (4:30) to make it to
Tetto's place to get him and Big Al. Then I noticed an IM from Tetto at 12:30 AM... When I got to his place I give him
a ring and a groggy Tetto answered "What? OH CHRIST IT'S 5:35! AL GET UP!". Thankfully we had no more problems and made
great time down to DC and met up with Salemi and headed up to Baltimore to catch the O's game. Much to my
surprise (and the guys) I was able to get in touch with my inner Yankees fan and appreciate the power of the
pinstripes. Not that it had anything to do with baseball, it was all about the hottie in the short, tight
pinstriped mini-skirt. We made it back to the hotel and hit Georgetown to grab a few drinks and prepared
for a day of tourism. |

| Thanks to an easily accessible digital camera Tetto got this shot. Thanks Mike! After making
our way into the city we decided to start at the Capitol and work our way back to Georgetown. After passing thru a
wedding, a Haitian parade (alas, no Zombies), a folklore festival and other assorted oddities I noticed a guy selling
Political buttons and pointed him out to Al. When Al ran over to look at what the guy had he recoiled in terror. The
choices where Hillary 04, No Blood for Oil, Say No to American Empire and so on. |

| Only in Washington can you see a guy in a Dubya mask (with fangs dripping blood), a Bush is a
terrorist T-Shirt and an anti-corporation sign having a political argument with a 10 year old boy outside the White House.
I love America! |

| A couple more of the sites on our 7 and half mile walking tour. Topping it off, the bar whose
bathroom I once flooded by vomiting in the urinal (long story). |

| Our last night was one for the ages! After a quick stop at Old Glory for dinner we then got ready
to hit the bars in Georgetown. Thanks to some advice from a young lady the night before Rhino (the old Winston's) was our choice
and what a great choice it turned out to be. A couple of the bartenders were from Connecticut and hooked us up with some
free drinks and strong rum and cokes. Al figured it'd be a great idea to bring a plant back up to our room. By this time Tetto had
passed out and had no idea what was going on. When security knocked on our door the next day, he was shocked by the dirt all over the
floor of our room and hallway. Why did we take a plant? Who cares, it was funny as hell. Great trip! |
