First time "Blogger" so bear with me........ This morning after 5 days and with mixed feelings we left NYC for Washington DC. I say mixed feelings because New york has been pretty good to us, in fact it has been great...we did so so much, however the color of Ashs' coat has meant that she has been mistaken for a cab far too often. (LOTS OF WHISTLES AND HOLLERING). Our time came to leave and we decided on the chinatown bus. This was one of the most random and surreal experiences thus far, we were accosted by a woman yesterday who it seems had supernatural senses and knew that we were travelling to DC so sold us the ticket: $20...we thought bingo, strange being chased down the street by someone knowing what you wanted and when....but convienent to say the least.
So today, with a little hesitation and no more than an address as to where the bus would be we arrive in chinatown and find an unmarked bus at sed place. There was a gathering of 4/5 people all of whom seemed to have the same idea as to the protocol we did....NO IDEA... there was no REP no Driver and noone who could guarentee where the bus was going.... so we get on around 20 min before the bus was to depart and wait it out..... 5 min later driver gets on... and leaves. Shouting in broken english (after departure 15 min early that it was indeed the DC bus).
this was the first of a comedy of errors...but my time is running out.....eeeeeekkk
Anyway, we are here in DC. And have seen most of the famous sights already... White House, Bank, Washington Monument and Capitol Hill... all while the sun was setting!! (bit of a bonus).
Tomorrow the mission is to buy Ash a Barack Obama t shirt.. :-S
