We went to
We realized
we are not smart enough to understand the complexities of public
transportation.
These are our
impressions…
Welcome to

an idyllic place where red shirts
peacefully coexist with blue shirts.

And
although it has a reputation for containing many of these…


it’s also a fantastical place filled with
unicorns,

giant hairballs,

spooky castles,



and crazy, M. C. Escher-like worlds.

The people of
DC are friendly…

contemplative…

respectful…

(ok, maybe not that respectful)…

and oddly attracted to UPS trucks.
They also
like to get together and run 26 miles.
I think this has to do with their frustration with the public transit
system, but it seems to be a rather excessive reaction. I mean, we just took a cab.

I don’t
know if this lady was in the marathon or if she just stole this flag from the
Whitehouse.

I’d
like to buy a vowel,

Tom
apparently made friends with Strawberry Shortcake’s grandfather.

Represent’n!

Tom
looking for a shortcut.

He looked
good around mile 13…

…but by
the end, the race had obviously taken its toll on Tom.
(actually,
it looks like he could use a good rest.
Look no
further for a place to stay in DC)

When you find
yourself taking pictures of people taking pictures, it’s time to end.
The
End.
