last days in DC

so i'm in NY atm. has been raining all day which kinda screwed up my plans. i went to WTC site (not much) and time square. didn't take any pics as it was raining. then i missed a tour of the bronx... argh!!


anyway, last few days in DC

saw most of the monuments. it was about 24 degrees and perfect. this obviously is the washington monument.

this i from the steps of the lincoln memorial (at the end of the mall/park)

so i met up with some new friends for dinner (10 of us) and went out again starting at a irish pub and finished at a niteclub. i bought some drinks at the niteclub and then went for more but the bar chick wouldn't serve me as i didn't tip her. this was not table service. f#cking stupid tipping sh#t). but the worse part of the night was i had my camera in my pocket and was knocked into a handrail (not that hard) and smashed the screen! i was not happy. still works though just can't see anything. anyway walked home at 5 for a 20min stroll that took over an hour due to bad directions (say aust embassy though).

the next day i was pretty tired and spent an hour mustering the will to see the whitehouse (30min walk) before heading to NY. evntually i did and everyone else came too even though they had already seen it. here is the pic...

so the caught the bus to NY. it was $40 cheaper and i have been spending more money than expected (and no it wasn't all on drinks!). bus was fine, watched movies and slept anyway.

so that's it for now
