A&E in DC

We're off to Orlando tomorrow for theme park mecca so here's a quick blog entry on the nation's capital. First off, we're in a dorm again in a very strange hostel. Most of these places are full of young backpackers travelling around like us. The major demographic here is old people (and I mean elderly) and the French. We shared our dorm on the first night with an ample-bottomed French girl (on a side note, we have seen some huge arses here. Some normal sized women have backsides so large I worry that if they sit down, they may never get up again due to rolling. Oh, and I do realise this is the kettle calling the pot fat-arsed). Anyway, Mademoiselle Derriere came in at 3am and turned on the light for ten minutes. Typical. But the weirdest person here is an old man in braces who talks to himself in a variety of different languages. There's nothing about getting the fear from a hairy-backed ogre when he's in the shower at the same time. Anyway, DC is the home of monuments and museums - we've seen the White House, Capitol, some moving war memorials, Colin Powell giving a speech, the Lincoln/FDR/Jefferson monuments, Kermit the frog, Muhammed Ali's Rumble in the Jungle gloves, the Apollo module that took Armstrong, Aldrin and the other one to the Moon, the original Constitution, the fastest plane ever, the Star Spangled Banner, a buffalo sandwich and the Wright brothers' original flyer. But that old hairy bloke in the braces will stay with me forever.
